palmetto tree and crescent moon against the sunrise. The plate slogan, developed by the
South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, invites visitors with a new

Other finalists in the competition were Tom Crosby of Darlington and Karen Nelson of Gilbert. �The new license plate competition gave South Carolina citizens the opportunity to participate in the process for the first time,� said SCDMV Executive Director Marcia Adams. �We appreciate all the submissions we received and we�re very pleased with the outcome of the competition. We wanted the new plate to be a positive representation of the state and no other symbol of South Carolina is more recognizable than the palmetto tree and crescent moon.� To find local DMV offices and hours, visit www.scdmvonline.com and click on the "office locations" link.
