There is a contest running now through May 24th where residents of Idaho can submit original license plate design ideas. The contest will award $1,000 for each of the license plates. The wildlife-themed plates benefit the Idaho Department of Fish & Game’s Diversity program (non-game), the Idaho Department of Fish & Game’s Wildlife Health Lab, the Idaho Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Disease Lab, and the Idaho Department of Parks & Recreation’s Boating Access Program.

Idaho allows residents to choose from a variety of license plates for an extra charge and the additional fee benefits a certain program or organization. There are around 100 different license plate designs currently in the 3 categories of Special Programs, Individually Qualified, and Vehicle Qualified.
