Chicago Names Snowplow Abolish ICE Winner in Citys Annual Awards

Chicago Names Winners of Snowplow Naming Contest

The City of Chicago has announced the winners of its “You Name a Snowplow” contest, which took place in 2023. The contest allowed residents to submit names for new snowplows, with six winning entries selected from over 1,000 submissions.

Among the winners is “Abolish ICE,” a name submitted by a resident who expressed support for immigration reform. Other winning names include “Pope Frio XIV” and several others that reflect Chicago’s diverse cultural heritage.

The City of Chicago will use these names to identify its new snowplows in 2026, with the goal of promoting community engagement and civic pride. The contest was open to all residents, regardless of age or residency status.

The winning entries were selected by a panel of city officials, who aimed to choose names that would be both meaningful and memorable. The selected names will be displayed on the snowplows, providing a unique way for residents to engage with their community and show pride in their city.

The “You Name a Snowplow” contest is an annual event that has been held by the City of Chicago since 2015. It aims to encourage civic engagement and provide a platform for residents to express themselves through creative submissions.
