Homecoming Court Nominations

Homecoming Court is a tradition that spotlights students who demonstrate what it means to be a Warrior. 

They are highly involved on campus, in good academic standing, and best represent the student body.

Students and campus organizations determine who they think embodies these qualities and would represent the student body well. 

In celebration of inclusivity and diversity, WSU’s Homecoming Court has non-gendered royalty instead of crowning a traditional king and queen.

Nominate a Candidate 

The Homecoming Committee encourages your campus club/organization, Warrior athletic team, or residence hall to nominate students who:

• Best represent your organization
• Are highly involved on campus
• Give back to our communities in a variety of ways

You may sponsor up to 2 candidates, but you cannot nominate yourself. Each candidate runs separately.

Submit an entry form with an individual picture of the candidate by Sept. 22.
