Monarch License Plate Wins National Award
In 2020, the Automobile License Plate Collectors Association (ALPCA) nominated our ‘Save the Monarchs’ license plate as America’s Best License Plate.
“Congratulations to the state of Oklahoma for winning ALPCA’s 2020 Best Plate competition,” said ALPCA president, Cyndi McCabe. “This specialty plate is a colorful, eye-popping design created to raise awareness about the endangered monarch butterfly.”
In May 2019, Governor Kevin Stitt signed Senate Bill 170, authorizing the creation of the monarch-themed license plate to “honor and raise awareness about the magnificent monarch.”
After soliciting voluntary designs from local artists, an online contest was held in which more than 12,800 Oklahomans voted for their favorite of six Monarch-themed license plate designs. The design by Rick Sinnett of Mustang, Oklahoma, won with 3,382 votes. His vivid design features a Monarch butterfly in the center of the plate with an abstract sunset in the background and milkweed flowers in the foreground.
