Well hello there. And thank you for helping to support our state’s wildlife programs. The Idaho Wildlife License Plate contest is your chance to redesign Idaho’s wildlife license plates, support a worthy cause and win $1,000.
How it works:
Submit original artwork based on the required images of the wildlife plates (bluebird, elk and cutthroat trout). Artists can submit designs for all three wildlife plates or just one or two of the new plate designs. Each design requires its own unique form to be submitted.
Entry requirements
The wildlife graphic will be displayed on the left side of the plate.
“Idaho” will appear at the top of the plate design. “Wildlife” will appear at the bottom.
The background can be a color of your choosing, but not the red, white and blue of the standard Idaho license plates.
The image size should be 5 ½” x 11 ½” to fit the printable area of the license plate.
The preferred file format is vector PDF. High-quality, 300 dpi at final dimensions, JPEG or PNG files will also be accepted. We cannot accept submissions below 300 dpi or in the wrong dimensions.
Deadline for submission
May 24th, 2024
Eligibility
All artwork must be original.
All artwork must be created by an Idahoan.
If artists provide a trademarked or copyrighted image, artists must provide a full release from the trademark or copyright holder allowing IFWF and the State of Idaho full use of the image for the purpose of license plate production, including alterations.
Selection process
The top 10 designs from each plate category will be chosen by a panel.
The final artwork for each wildlife plate will then be chosen by the IFWF judging committee.
Who it benefits
Proceeds from the purchase of these license 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.
