The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) has selected the winners for the fifth annual Name-A-Plow contest, in which North Dakota citizens submitted snowplow name ideas.

North Dakota citizens submitted more than 800 snowplow name ideas that were considered in the contest. Names were narrowed down by the district for which the names were submitted, and winners were chosen by NDDOT employee vote.

The winners will have the opportunity to meet with the operator of the plow they named, as well as have their snowplow name permanently displayed on the plow.
