City of Topeka opens community contest to name snow plow

The City of Topeka's Street Division is launching its first ever contest to name one of its 72,000 pound snowplows.

The contest is open now through Friday, October 7 at 5:00 p.m. The contest rules are simple:

• One entry per adult or child
• Entries must be 15 characters or less, including spaces between words

Once the contest has closed, a three-member panel from the City's Street Division will review and select their favorite entry. The author's name and the winning entry will be announced on the City's social media accounts, and through traditional media in mid-October.

The snow plow's new name will be mounted on a metal sign and attached to the unit.
