The batch of honorable mention license plate designs that the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles released last month featured some great artwork, but now that the finalists for the contest honoring the state’s 150th anniversary have been announced, it is time to select the winners.
Voting opened Wednesday and runs through Feb. 15 on DMV.Colorado.gov/historiccolorado. Voters can select their favorite of three designs in each age division — 13 years old and older and under 13 — and the older age division’s winner will be used to create the 150th anniversary plate, which is expected to be released in the fall.
