Name a North Dakota Snowplow!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! The Blizzard Wizard is up to the challenge – and so are his friends, Truck Norris, Darth Blader, Stormin’ Norman, and a whole crew of as-yet-unnamed plows. The North Dakota Department of Transportation is excited to bring back the Name-A-Plow contest for 2024! There was a record-setting 1,100 fantastic submissions last year and we had so much fun with your ideas, we just had to do it again.

So come on, North Dakota! Send us your punny, witty, or creative snowplow name ideas via the survey below. Contest closes November 15, 2024.

NDDOT team members will select one winner in each of our eight districts.

Winners will receive bragging rights for a lifetime, along with the opportunity to meet the plow they named and its driver.
