The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has opened the polls for voting in 2022's “Name a Snowplow” contest.

MnDOT says over 11,000 snowplow name submissions came in through December, and fifty finalists have been selected for us to vote on. What were the criteria that pushed a name suggestion forward?

"Creativity, how unique it is, frequency of submissions, Minnesota-specific ideas, and names that would be easily identifiable and understandable to broad audiences."

Most of the offerings are new to the contest, though a few are lingerers from the 2021 vote. Scroll through the finalists and see if you can find 8 you want to vote for, then keep scrolling for the link to vote.
