The California Department of Transportation, known as Caltrans, is opening a contest across 11 districts to name their new snowplows.

Each qualifying district will award one winner with a $50 gift card. One adult winner will also be eligible to receive an additional grand prize of a $100 gift card. If the winner is a student in grades K-12, they will receive a $100 gift card and a $100 gift card towards their classroom.
Participants who reside in the following districts are eligible to enter the contest:
