Glenwood Springs resident Matt Nuñez snapped a photo of southwest Colorado’s Mount Sneffels, one of the state’s 58 peaks over 14,000 feet, with its lower slopes blanketed in fall colors on a road trip back in 2017. When the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles announced its Iconic Colorado contest this summer to redesign the state’s driver licenses, 400 photos, including Nunez’s shot of Sneffels, poured in from photographers around the state for consideration. This month, Nuñez received word from the state’s Department of Revenue and Gov. Jared Polis’s office that his photo of Mount Sneffels was picked to grace the front of the new IDs.

Most artists can’t say their work is in wallets and purses throughout the state, but photographers Matt Nunez and Gabriel Dupon won’t have that problem when the new Colorado driver’s license rolls out in Fall 2021.
Nunez and Dupon won the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles’ (DMV) Iconic Colorado contest to redesign the State’s identification credentials. More than 55,000 Coloradans voiced their choice for the State’s upcoming Driver License design in the Iconic Colorado contest. Votes were tallied on Feb. 5.
Governor Jared Polis honored the recipients in a state-wide online presentation on March 1 saying, “I want to congratulate all the Coloradans who submitted design and art, and all who voted for their favorite artwork. Our driver’s license is a piece of our brand – we take it with us no matter where we go. And now we can say that Colorado has the most beautiful driver’s license for our state.”
