DOVER, Del. – DelDOT has announced the start of its 5th annual Name That Plow contest and is inviting elementary students in grades K-5 across the state to submit original and creative name ideas for Delaware snowplows. Past contest winners created names such as Ice Ice Bladey, Melton John and Darth Blader. DelDOT operates more than 300 snow removal vehicles and maintains nearly 14,000 lane miles statewide, meaning selected names may appear on plows traveling through Delaware during winter weather operations.
Three winning names will be chosen, with one selected from each county. Winning schools will receive a visit from a snowplow for a class photo. Entries may be submitted individually or as a class. Contest rules require submissions to be limited to 15 characters and one or two words so they can fit on equipment labeling. Names may not include a student name, profanity or inappropriate wording. Multiple submissions from the same school are permitted.
If more than one school submits a selected winning name, a random drawing will determine the final school winner. Entries are due by 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 5, 2025. Full contest information and entry details are available at https://tinyurl.com/yub8sw58
