DelDOT Name That Plow Winners Announced

Dover - ; The Delaware Department of Transportation is excited to announce the winners of its 5th Annual "Name That Plow" Contest. Nearly 300 submissions were received this year, with students from across Delaware showing off their creativity, clever wordplay, and snow-themed humor.

The 2026 winners are:

Scoop! There it is! - Cedar Lane Early Childhood (New Castle)

No Mo Sno - Star Hill Elementary School (Kent)

Han Snowlo - Phillis Wheatley Elementary School (Sussex)

"Following a storm like the one we recently experienced, our crews put in long hours under challenging conditions to ensure Delawareans can travel safely," said Secretary Shanté Hastings. "The 'Name That Plow' contest is a fun and engaging way to shine a spotlight on the hardworking men and women behind the wheel and the equipment they operate. It gives our students a chance to connect with the important work happening on our roadways."

"Our students were thrilled to see their idea come to life! Opportunities like this make learning fun and show them that their voices and creativity truly matter. This experience has been such an exciting way for our students to connect with the community. We are so proud to represent Phillis Wheatley Elementary School with 'Han Snowlo'!" said Savannah Spotz, 3rd grade teacher at Phillis Wheatley Elementary School.

DelDOT maintains more than 300 pieces of snow removal equipment statewide and is responsible for plowing and treating nearly 14,000 lane miles of roadway.
