Want To Name A Monmouth County Snowplow? Here’s How

MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ — Submissions are now open for the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners’ third annual Snowplow Naming Contest.

Each year, the Board of County Commissioners hosts this contest to give fifth-graders across Monmouth County a chance to name a county snowplow.

In 2024, a student from Laura Donovan Elementary School in Freehold Township and a student from Middletown Village Elementary School in Middletown Township were crowned winners of the contest for their submitted name, “Born to Plow.”

In 2023, a student from Amerigo A. Anastasia School in Long Branch won for their submission of “Snow Force 1,” alongside a student at Woodrow Wilson School in Neptune City for their submission of “Fast & The Flurrious.”

To enter this year’s Snowplow Naming Contest, the rules are as follows:

• The contest is open to all fifth graders in Monmouth County
• Submissions will be accepted now through Monday, Dec. 22
• Students must submit a letter explaining how they came up with the name and advice for staying safe during a snowstorm
• Snowplow Naming contest submissions can be sent by mail to:
  • Monmouth County Department of Public Information, Hall of Records Annex (1 East Main St., Freehold, NJ 07728) OR
  • By email at public.information@co.monmouth.nj.us

The winner will have their submitted name painted on a Monmouth County snowplow and will be invited to help unveil it.

“We can’t wait to see all the imaginative names and letters from this year’s fifth-grade students!” said Commissioner Director Thomas Arnone, liaison to the Department of Public Works.
