DelDOT Name That Plow contest entries due Nov. 8
As winter approaches, the Delaware Department of Transportation is launching its fourth annual Name That Plow contest for elementary school students across the state.
There were more than 200 entries last year, and the winning snowplow names were Ice Ice Bladey, Melton John and Blades of Flurries.
“Keeping our roads clear and safe during winter storms is a vital task, and our dedicated crews take great pride in their work,” said Nicole Majeski, secretary of transportation. “The Name That Plow contest is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn about snow removal and connect with DelDOT’s efforts to keep our state moving.”
One winner from each county will be selected and will have a snowplow visit their school. Submissions can be made as a class or from individual students.
Entries will be accepted via email until 11:59 p.m., Friday, Nov. 8, at dotpublic@delaware.gov.
Submissions should include school name, plow name, class/teacher/student’s name and grade.
DelDOT has more than 300 pieces of snow-removal equipment statewide, and it is responsible for treating and plowing almost 14,000 lane miles of roadway. For more information about DelDOT’s winter storm operations, visit the DelDOT Snow FAQ webpage.
