The Albany County Legislature is kicking off its 2024 Name a Snowplow Contest today (December 10). Residents of Albany County are invited to submit their most creative names for the county's snowplows. The contest aims to engage the community and add a touch of fun to the winter season.

A panel of judges will select 15 finalists from the submissions. These finalists will then be put to a public vote from January 13 through January 15. The winning names will be proudly displayed on the county's snowplows.

For those interested in participating, more information on the contest and submission guidelines can be found on the Albany County website at albanycountyny.gov. This initiative is part of the county's efforts to involve residents in local activities and bring a sense of community spirit to the area.
