Southport Seeks Designs for New License Plate

The City of Southport is launching a Southport-themed specialty license plate and is inviting artists of all skill levels to submit designs. Artwork must be 11.5" x 5.5", with key elements on the left side due to plate number placement, and a $10 application fee is required per entry. The winning design will become the official license plate, available through the NC DMV, and the selected artist will receive a cash prize. Proceeds from plate sales will benefit the city's Public Information Office. Submissions are open until June 1, 2025. Read more at the city of Southport’s website.
