(Radio Iowa) – The choice is in for a new specialty license plate for education. The Iowa Department of Education announced today (Monday) that a design by 16-year-old sophomore Erin Cho of Ames High School was chosen in the contest to pick the new education plate. Cho’s design features the state bird, the American goldfinch, shown as a teacher and students perched on school books.
The first ever contest saw art teachers submit more than 100 license plate designs from students that were then narrowed down to 16 semifinalists.
The license plate will be available through the D-O-T this summer.
