Submissions for the contest, which is open to kindergartners through ninth-graders, are due by Jan. 31. The student who comes up with the winning name, to be determined by a York Dispatch panel, will be awarded a pizza party for his or her class.

Teachers should e-mail their students' name suggestions to juniordispatch@yorkdispatch.com.
