Kids Tag Art Pinellas is a partnership between the Pinellas County Tax Collector’s Office, Pinellas County Schools, and generous community sponsors. 

• It allows 5th-grade students to become real-world designers, creating unique front license plate designs in art class that can be printed on real metal plates. 
  • These plates are not real license plates; they are vanity plates for the front of your car.
• Proceeds from tag sales and sponsorships are donated to the participating art classrooms.
• The Pinellas County Tax Collector’s Office launched Kids Tag Art Pinellas in 2015. Since its inception, the office has raised nearly $500,000 for Pinellas County Schools' elementary art programs. 
• In addition to raising funds, Kids Tag Art Pinellas also hosts a juried art competition, with winners from each school honored at an annual award ceremony held every January.

Who Benefits? 

• 100% of the proceeds from tag sales and sponsorships go directly to local elementary art programs to fund art supplies, art-themed field trips, and art enrichment programs.
