The city of Chicago is once again holding its “You Name A Snowplow” contest.

Chicago residents are encouraged to submit innovative snowplow names at www.chicagoshovels.org by Jan. 12.

At the end of the contest, the Department of Streets and Sanitation will pick the top six names, and those names will represent one snowplow in each of the city’s six snow districts, joining the named snowplow fleet announced earlier this year.

Due to a near-tie for sixth place, seven winning names were chosen for the first contest, including:

1. Mrs. O’Leary’s Plow

2. Da Plow

3. Salter Payton

4. Sears Plower

5. Sleet Home Chicago

6. Holy Plow!

7. Jean Baptiste Point du Shovel

Like the first contest, this year’s will have two phases, DSS said.

First, the city will gather names from the submissions, which are limited to one per person and 50 characters in length.

When the submission period closes on Jan. 12, or when the city receives 20,000 submissions, whichever comes first, DSS staff will choose 50 finalists.

In the second phase, which will begin on Jan. 22, residents may vote for up to six names of their choice by Feb. 2.
