DelDOT Announces the 5th Annual Name That Plow Contest
Dover - The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) is kicking off its 5th Annual Name That Plow Contest, inviting elementary school students (grades K - ;5) across Delaware to come up with creative and funny names for our snowplows!
Over the past four years, Delaware students have named snow plows with creative and cool names like Ice Ice Bladey, Melton John, and Darth Blader-and we can't wait to see what's next!
"Our snowplow crews work hard in difficult conditions to clear our roads and make them safe for travel," said Secretary of Transportation Shanté Hastings. "The Name That Plow contest gives students a fun way to learn about our winter operations and see their creativity in action."
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
Three winning names - one from each county - will be chosen, and each winner will get a snowplow visit at their school! Entries can be submitted individually or as a class.

Entries are due by 11:59 on December 5th, 2025
