Potential designs include:
• Nongame wildlife tags, supporting the state’s nongame wildlife conservation fund — Two designs will be chosen including: blue heron in a shoals river scene; green tree frog; bald eagle soaring above Georgia pines; hummingbird with trumpet creeper; bald eagle with American flag; painted bunting; and North Atlantic right whale.
• Bobwhite Quail Initiative tags, supporting the bobwhite quail initiative — Mother quail and chicks; flushing covey with a white-tailed deer; and turkey and a flushing quail with a white-tailed buck.
• Trout tags supporting the fisheries management section trout conservation program
• Brook trout; rainbow trout; trio including brook, rainbow and brown trout; and a brook trout chasing a fly.
The deadline to vote is Sept. 15.  The winning designs will be made available shortly afterward in local tag offices and for online renewals.  
Specialty plates cost $60 plus taxes and fees. There is an annual renewal of $35.
