Charlotte County Kids Tag Art

Kids Tag Art Logo Kids Tag Art is a school fund raising project that inspires 5th grade art students to design their own specialty license plate, while at the same time learning about design elements and principles. Parents will have an opportunity to purchase their student's license plate through their child's school. These tags are strictly art and can not be used as legal identification on the rear of the vehicle. All proceeds from the sales will stay with the art department of each school.

Each year, two tag designs from each school are selected for Awards of Distinction. Each Award of Distinction will be displayed here on our website and will be available for sale to the public. Those students and parents are invited to attend an awards ceremony. Additional recognition will be given by the Tax Collectors Choice Award, the Charlotte County School Administrator Choice Award, and a Choice Award from select sponsors.
