Winners will receive a variety of LTU promotional materials, including reusable bags, seeds to support pollinators, writing supplies, stickers, educational guides, activity books with crayons, and bike lights.
These names will go along side the eight winning names from 2023. See those winners here. The third and final Name That Snowplow contest will begin in October 2025.
