Get Plowed

SDDOT Name the snowplow contest begins

OK internet time to do your thing.
As the winter season swiftly approaches, bringing with it the inevitable snowfall, there’s an exciting opportunity for you to leave your mark on our city’s snow removal efforts. The South Dakota Department of Transportation (DOT) is inviting all creative minds to participate in a unique and fun plow naming contest. Here’s everything you need to know to get involved!


From now until November 30th, the DOT is accepting submissions for clever, witty, and memorable names for their fleet of snow plows. This is your chance to showcase your creativity and contribute to the community spirit in a fun and meaningful way.


Participating in the plow naming contest is easy and open to everyone. Simply visit the South Dakota DOT’s website, find the plow naming contest page, and submit your best and brightest ideas. There’s no limit to how many names you can submit, so feel free to let your imagination run wild!


Once the submission period closes, transportation personnel will have the exciting task of voting for their favorite entries. It’s a great way for the people who operate these snow plows to connect with the community and see the creativity that Sioux Falls has to offer.


In December, the DOT will announce the twelve winning names. Winners will have the satisfaction of knowing that their creative contribution will be seen by thousands of residents and visitors as the snow plows work to keep our roads safe and clear throughout the winter season.


Apart from the sheer fun of it, participating in the plow naming contest is a great way to engage with your community and be a part of something special. It’s an opportunity to showcase your creativity, make a lasting impact, and perhaps even gain a bit of local fame. Plus, it’s a fantastic conversation starter and a story to share with friends and family for years to come.


Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to make your mark on Sioux Falls this winter. Grab your thinking caps, brainstorm some pun-tastic and creative names, and head over to the South Dakota DOT’s website to submit your entries today.
