The Battleship North Carolina Memorial has launched the Battleship North Carolina License Plate Art Contest, a statewide competition open to North Carolina residents of all ages and abilities. The winning artwork could inspire the design of the Battleship’s future custom North Carolina specialty license plate, pending approval by the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles. Artists are asked to submit original work depicting or interpreting the Battleship North Carolina and its significance as the state’s official World War II memorial.
Artwork may be created using digital design, illustration, painting, mixed media or other forms of human-created artwork. Entries should be suitable for use on a North Carolina license plate.
Fees or awards
$20 entry fee/design (up to two design entries per artist) OR secure five verified license plate pre-orders from family, friends, or supporters. Cash prizes will be awarded to First Place ($1,000), Second Place ($500), Third Place ($250), and People’s Choice ($100) recipients.
