ATLANTA -- The Georgia Department of Revenue announced the three finalists in its license plate contest Wednesday. The winning design will be announced Friday by Gov. Nathan Deal, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and state Revenue Commissioner Douglas MacGinnitie.

The three designs, as did all the finalists, came from public submissions. A panel of art professors from colleges and universities across the state narrowed the list to eight semifinalists. The public was given the opportunity to vote on those designs.

After more than 400,000 votes, the three finalists were unveiled on Wednesday.
