Chicago Shovels

It's time to vote for your favorite names in the final phase of Chicago's Third Annual 'You Name a Snowplow' contest!  

Chicago residents may view the list of finalists below and vote for up to six names before January 21, 2025. Once the votes are tallied, the top six names will represent one snowplow in each of the City’s six snow districts, joining the previously named snowplow fleet. The winning snowplow names will be installed on the snowplows, and residents who submitted the winning names (earliest time stamp when there are multiple submissions) will be offered a photo opportunity with the named snowplow along with city swag.

Thank you for participating!
