See Finalists + Vote Now To Name Minnesota Snowplows
Exciting news arrived this week from the Minnesota Department of Transportation when they announced that after recently taking new name submissions, the finalists have been chosen and the public voting is open for the 2023-24 Name A Snowplow contest.
According to MnDOT, they received more than 8,000 snowplow name submissions in December. After reviewing all the suggested names, their staff selected 50 finalists for the public voting period, which is open now through Sunday, January 28.
In deciding the 50 finalists, the agency considered various factors, including uniqueness, frequency of submissions, Minnesota-specific ideas, and names that would be easily identifiable and understandable to most audiences.
