Western Illinois University (WIU) and Northern Illinois University (NIU) have teamed up to launch the “Goodest Boy in Illinois” Mascot Challenge. The competition aims to find the best dog mascot in the state, with the winner being crowned the official mascot of both universities.
The challenge invites dog owners to submit photos and videos of their four-legged friends, showcasing their school spirit and personality. The submissions will be judged based on creativity, originality, and overall cuteness. The top three finalists will be selected by a panel of judges, with the final winner being determined by a public vote.
The winning dog will have the opportunity to make appearances at various events and games at both WIU and NIU, representing both universities as the “Goodest Boy in Illinois.” In addition to being named the official mascot, the winner will also receive a prize package and have their photo featured on promotional materials for the universities.
Both WIU and NIU are excited to bring their communities together through this fun and lighthearted competition. The challenge not only celebrates the bond between humans and their furry companions but also promotes school spirit and unity among students, alumni, and supporters of both universities.
Dog owners interested in participating in the “Goodest Boy in Illinois” Mascot Challenge can submit their entries on the WIU News website. The deadline for submissions is fast approaching, so be sure to showcase your dog’s school spirit for a chance to win the title of the official mascot of WIU and NIU.
