Contest Links Vanity License Plate Anniversary With Earth Day

Lexington, KY--March 8, 2012: In 2012, the personalized license plate celebrates its 75th anniversary. In observance of this event Eagle One, a leading marketer of automotive appearance products, is conducting a contest designed to also call attention to Earth Day, April 22. Environmental causes receive funds from states that are derived from vanity plate fees.

Eagle One will award a cash prize of $1,000 to the individual who submits the most creative, environmentally- oriented message for a vanity plate using a combination of up to seven letters and numbers. The winner will be selected by a panel of automotive journalists.

Eagle One has joined the "green" movement with the introduction of its EnviroShine line of appearance products which is the first eco-line to be available at national auto-parts retailers.

Entries will be accepted March 12 through April 9. To enter, visit Eagle One. One online entry per person and you must be 18 years or older. The winner will be announced April 20.

The first personalized license plates appeared in Connecticut in 1937.
