DelDOT Announces the 6th Annual Name That Plow Contest
Dover - The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) is kicking off its 6th Annual Name That Plow Contest and is inviting elementary school students in grades K - ;5 across Delaware to put their creativity to the test by coming up with fun and clever names for our snowplows!
Last year's winners brought plenty of snow-much fun to the contest, with creative names like "Han Snowlo," "No Mo Sno," and "Scoop! There It Is!". We are looking forward to seeing the wonderful names Delaware students come up with for this year's contest!
"It is important to shine a light on the hard working staff that keep Delaware roads safe and passable during snowstorms, and this is a great way to bring awareness to students across the state," said Secretary of Transportation Shanté Hastings.
DelDOT operates over 300 snow removal vehicles and maintains nearly 14,000 lane miles statewide - so your name could be rolling through Delaware this winter! To learn more about DelDOT and snow removal, you can visit our website here: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) - Delaware Department of Transportation
New for this year, we have created a fun, snowplow-themed coloring page for students to enjoy during classroom discussions as they brainstorm names for the contest. The coloring page is an optional activity to encourage creativity and classroom participation and does not need to be submitted with contest entries.
Submissions will be accepted until 11:59 pm on Friday, December 4, 2026.
Applications and coloring page can be found here: Name That Plow Application
