Itâs time for a new Minnesota State Parks and Trails license plate design! đđ˛
Minnesota State Parks and Trails is hosting a license plate design contest to celebrate state parks, state trails, the North Shore and the Lake Superior Agate. The new design will join the current specialty license plate as an option to support the state parks â and just like the current plate, will provide free entry to all Minnesota state parks and recreation areas.
Read on for more contest details:
⢠Designs must celebrate the North Shore and the Lake Superior agate, as determined by the Minnesota Legislature in 2026. Designs celebrating the region can draw inspiration from waterfalls, forests, wildlife, unique geology or other natural features and recreational experiences found throughout the North Shore landscape, which can be easily accessed from state parks, trails and other public lands.
⢠All designs must be created without the use of artificial intelligence, as mandated by the Minnesota Legislature.
⢠This contest is open to all Minnesota residents. One person may submit multiple entries.
⢠You can begin working on your designs now! We will begin accepting designs online this fall, from Sept. 15 through Oct 31. Watch for updates in the fall.
⢠Make sure you read and understand the full contest rules by going to mndnr.gov/parksplate/contest
