Bearcat Awards

 2019 INFORMATION NOW AVAILABLE!

 

The Bearcat Award is the highest honor given in the name of Homecoming participation.  This award recognizes student team, registered student organizations, and residence halls that take an active and spirited part in Homecoming Week. The prizes for winning will be:  $250 for first place, $175 second place, $100 third place.  Bearcat Award points are earned through attendance and participation in all activities during the week’s events.

All events require a completed participation form.  Forms are due at the Bearcat Games meeting on September 22 at 8pm in PAC Lobby.  Teams that register after September 22 will not be eligible for prices but may still participate. 

Smaller Registered Student Organizations are encouraged to pair up with another organization to compete in the games.  In this case, any prizes won would be split between the two merged groups.  In the event the group splits for the parade (ie. Each group does a float for their own group’s recognition in the parade) they must choose and agree (BEFORE THE PARADE) which parade entry will count for the Bearcat Awards competition. 

It would be advisable to update your group’s information online.  Use either the renewal or the update form.  A student organization pairing cannot exceed two organizations.

Winners of the event will be posted on this page, and the overall winners will be announced during the Homecoming Football Game.  Awards will be presented to category winners and the overall winner following Homecoming week.

The Bearcat Award events will begin on Monday, September 30, 2019.
