Montana has hundreds of designs from high schools to colleges to quilting clubs. Proceeds go to the state and the plate sponsor. That might be a bit excessive, but certainly something I think Alberta should look at.
That option is coming according to the Herald article:

Although only one plate design will be chosen for general use, Albertans will also be able to buy some specialty designs to be introduced later
Also suggests they will dump a slogan completely in lieu of a government web address:

Apparently there won’t be a new slogan, however. The plate will simply show “Alberta”- and perhaps the government web address, a trend being adopted by several U.S. states.
