Chicago Announces Winners of Snowplow Naming Contest

The City of Chicago has announced six winners of its annual “You Name a Snowplow” contest. The contest, which ran from January 1 to March 31, allowed residents to submit names for new snowplows being introduced in the city.

Among the winners is “Abolish ICE,” submitted by Caleb Chilliams. Other winning submissions include “Pope Frio XIV,” “Chicago’s Finest,” “Snowplow Supreme,” and two other entries that were not specified.

The City of Chicago will begin assigning these names to new snowplows in 2026, as part of its efforts to improve winter maintenance services for residents. The contest is an annual tradition, with the city encouraging residents to submit their suggestions for snowplow names.

The winners’ submissions were selected from a pool of over 1,000 entries received during the contest period. The City of Chicago will announce additional details about the new snowplows and their naming process in the coming months.
