DENVER — Voting is underway to determine Colorado's next license plate.
The Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) launched the contest in September, seeking designs from residents for a license plate to celebrate the Centennial State's 150th anniversary.
Six finalists were chosen from more than 300 entries from 216 entrants.
The public can vote for the final two winners in different divisions — 13 and older, and younger than 13 — through Feb. 15.
After the votes have been tallied, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) and the DMV will unveil the chosen design as well as present both winners with a $1,000 grant as well as a commemorative license plate.
The winning plates will be featured in all of the Governor’s Office’s and DMV’s media releases as well as a commemorative license plate.
