The Dubai government has chosen a guerrilla marketing strategy to communicate awareness around the threat posed by world hunger to domestic audiences.
The media and marketing arm of the Emirate of Dubai has teamed up with Publicis Groupe and Saatchi & Saatchi UAE to unleash a fleet of vehicles bearing empty license plates across the city to communicate the plight of an estimated 800 million people who suffer from hunger.

Coinciding with fasting during the month of Ramadan, the unheralded move provoked consternation among the public as they attempted to solve the mystery of whether they were seeing intelligence services at work or stolen vehicles.
The stunt was raising awareness of literal empty plates, which cause millions to go hungry – an issue that has sparked the 1billion meals initiative by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to ensure no one in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia need go hungry.

​To further this cause affluent Emiratis will be invited to bid for unique number plates, with the proceeds raised paying for meals to be given to the neediest including refugees, displaced people and anyone affected by a humanitarian or natural disaster.

​According to the latest statistics released by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles,  1,816,588 specialty license plates were sold in 2021 and a total of $39,472,454.00 was raised, the highest amount in the history of the program..
Prior to 2009, specialty license plate sales increased every year, despite the economic recession. On October 1, 2009, the Florida State Legislature significantly increased vehicle registration fees, particularly with respect to purchasing specialty license plates. In 2009, annual sales of Florida Specialty License Plates amounted to 1,623,486. After 2009, there was a 19.78% decline in Specialty Plate sales, reflecting approximately $7 million lost in annual revenue. 
In September, 2013, the Florida Legislature reduced some fees associated with vehicle registrations, however, did not address the significant increase in the cost to purchase a new specialty license plate that was imposed in 2009. Despite the increase in fees, specialty plates have now surpassed thospre-2009 numbers, although the number of Florida residents - and Florida registered vehicles - has also significantly increased.

Clearwater Marine Aquarium on Monday announced it had received more than $17,000 from the Sea Turtle Grants Program.
With the new funding, the aquarium says its veterinary team was able to purchase new medical equipment for sea turtle rehabilitation — including a new surgical exam table, a single head ceiling surgical light, a wound VAC and dressings, and a digital camera. Since receiving the equipment, CMA says more than 75 sea turtles have been treated.

The Sea Turtle Grants Program is partially funded by Florida's 'Helping Sea Turtles Survive' Specialty License Plate, according to the aquarium. The license plate is also the primary source of funding for Florida's Marine Turtle Protection Program. 
According to CMA, the grants program has awarded more than $2.7 million in grants for research, education and conservation programs to benefit sea turtles in Florida. 

In the race to get the final few specialty plates approved before the new 135 maximum cap is in place, Tom Brady has donated the requisite funds to cover the cost of 2,500 presale vouchers. Before the new Best Buddies specialty license plate is manufactured, 3,000 vouchers must be completed within two years of the initial offering date. The free vouchers are courtesy of Tom Brady and Best Buddies, for the right to receive the Best Buddies Tom Brady specialty license plate once the 3000 vouchers have been registered and completed.
While you will receive the $33 voucher credit, the recipient will still need to pay their normal registration fees to the State of Florida.

CS/CS/SB 364, an 'Act Relating to Specialty License Plates', has been approved by the Florida Legislature and is being sent to the Governor for approval.

HB 163 (filed by Reps Hinson, Tant and Woodson on 9/22/2021) and SB 424 (filed by Sen Berman on 10/8/2021) – proposed the 'Ethical Ecotourism' specialty license plate for the Florida Society for Ethical Ecotourism and Paddle Florida, Inc. This was not heard in any Committee and was indefinitely postponed and withdrawn from consideration on Saturday, March 12, 2022, at 12.00 AM.
SB 1154 (filed by Sen Stewart on 12/2/2021) – proposed the ‘Orlando United’ specialty license plate for the LGBT+ Center Orlando, Inc. and onePULSE Foundation, Inc. for the shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016. This was not heard in any Committee and was indefinitely postponed and withdrawn from consideration on Saturday, March 12, 2022, at 12.00 AM.
According to the latest data release from FLHSMV, there are currently 33 specialty plates in the Presale Voucher process, and with the 8 new ones, there will be 41. The Senate Bill analysis for the bill that just passed states that there are currently 123 specialty license plates and there are 3 more, plus the nine 'Divine 9' specialty plates that have already completed the presale process, which will bring the number of specialty plates to 135. The bill, which awaits the governor's signature, reduces the number of allowable specialty plates to 135, from 150

The new Miami Heat specialty license plate design is available for purchase from December 6, 2021. It can be purchased online here.
​The new design replaces the slogan 'American Airlines Arena' with 'FTX Arena.'

According to the FLHSMV, as of November 1, 2021, the Heat specialty license plate has the fifth highest number of plates on Florida roads: 60,706. In 2020, the Miami Heat specialty license plate collected $1,244,675,00, up from $1,144,300.00 in 2019.

AmericanAirlines Arena officially became FTX Arena in June, 2021, with the home of the Miami Heat now named for the cryptocurrency exchange.
The renaming was made at a “Trading Day” event at the arena, with Heat President Eric Woolworth, FTX Chief Executive Officer Sam Bankman-Fried and Miami-Dade County Mayor Danielle Levine Cava among those in attendance, as well as Heat players Bam Adebayo and Udonis Haslem. The Heat’s three NBA championship trophies were featured prominently on stage for the event.
American Airlines signage at the arena was removed shortly after the Heat’s first-round elimination from the NBA playoffs.
According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, The name change is part of a 19-year, $135 million rights agreement with FTX, which also has established a partnership with the Heat. The 19-year term coincides with the remaining term of Heat’s lease at the facility.
Under the arena’s operating agreement, naming rights for the facility that hosts the three-time NBA champion are negotiated by the Miami-Dade County in coordination with the Heat.
The county’s agreement calls for an annual payment of $2 million per year from the naming rights to the Heat.

​Since 1996 the HEAT and the Florida Sports Foundation have been partnered in support of Florida’s youth and sports. The proceeds from the annual sale and renewal of the Miami HEAT license plate benefit The Miami HEAT Charitable Fund and the Florida Sports Foundation Major & Regional Grant Program.
The Miami HEAT Charitable Fund supports programs for the betterment of at-risk families in South Florida. Beneficiaries include SafeSpace, a domestic violence shelter for women and children, the Jackson Memorial Foundation’s Guardian Angels and Holtz Children’s Hospital, and the Miami Coalition for a Safe and Drug-Free Community. The Miami HEAT Charitable Fund also provides educational scholarships for high school seniors and partners with inner-city elementary schools to fund the HEAT Academy, which provides after-school tutoring and mentoring programs. Through these initiatives, the Miami HEAT Charitable Fund continues to inspire the youth of South Florida to envision their dreams and achieve their goals. 

The all new Walt Disney World specialty license plate saw sales of $436,050.00 just in the month of September, and another $222,225.00 in October, bringing the total sales to a whopping $772,650.00 since the release of the plate in late August. Endless Summer, the top selling plate in Florida, saw total sales of $215,425.00 in the month of September and $214,575.00 in October, bringing their total year to date to $2,133.900.00, for the 10 months of 2021. The total in the twelve months of 2020 for Endless Summer was $2,160,575.00, up $390,000.00 from 2019.
The demand for the new Disney plate has been unprecedented and many Tax Collectors do not have any inventory to meet demand - including MyFloridaSpecialtyPlate. 
According to FLHSMV, as of December 1, 2021, there are now 13,369 Walt Disney world specialty license plates on Florida roads, making it the 44th most popular specialty license plate already, surpassing Indian River Lagoon (13.091) and United We Stand (12,910).
The great news is that most of those funds, from the $25.00 user fee, will ultimately go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central and Northern Florida, Inc. for activities and programs for critically ill children, once the FLHSMV have deducted their operational and start up cost, which is unknown at this time. FLHSMV also deducts its annual SLP program operating and management fees from the user fee biennial payments and also receives a $28 'metal plate replacement fee' and an ongoing $2.80 'advance metal plate replacement fee' with each order, in addition to the $5.00 'specialty license plate processing fee', generating over  $1,000,000.00 so far to the state coffers from the Disney plate alone.
The Disney plate also collected over 11,000 presale vouchers and the state charged a $3.00 processing fee for those presale vouchers as well.

​For years, Biscayne Bay has experienced fish kills, seagrass die-offs, and run-off pollution from fertilizers and construction of towering beachside condos. In June, an evaluation by Miami-Dade County rated a significant portion of its bayside waters — home to manatees, dolphins, and other marine life —as "poor" or "fair."

It was considered a win for Miami-Dade environmentalists when bipartisan legislation for a specialty license plate to benefit Biscayne Bay drafted by Sen. Ileana Garcia (R-Miami) and Rep. Nicholas Duran (D-Miami) was signed into law this summer. Funds from the Protect Biscayne Bay tag will benefit the Miami Foundation to support habitat restoration, pollution prevention, and environmental education and awareness.

On November 6, community members and local officials, including Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, huddled around a blue Toyota Prius on the north end of the 444-acre Deering Estate on Miami's Cutler Bay, where a crowd of reporters and residents awaited the unveiling of the winning design for the Protect Biscayne Bay plate.

The brown paper that shrouded the car's trunk was ripped away to showcase the silhouette of a Stiltsville house and mangrove against a glowing orange sunset.
