Mascot Hall of Fame Awards

Golden Reggys SVT

The Mascot Hall of Fame recognizes there are hundreds of amazing mascot programs out there and we want to help every one of them get the recognition they deserve. 2023 marked the second year honoring those programs. Nominations are based off of the work the mascots have done over the previous 12 months since the prior year's awards concluded

The Mascot Hall of Fame Awards allow for all mascots to be nominated in one of seven different categories. Mascots will compete against mascot programs at the same level. We will accept nominations from teams, schools, and the general public, and then ask the mascots nominated to accept their nominations for consideration. The Mascot Hall of Fame will review the accepted nominations and craft separate ballots for each award category and mascot level.

Once the ballots are set, voting will be 100% based on public vote. Each ballot will allow for a single mascot to be selected within its category and everyone can vote daily for each category and level. The awards and categories are listed below.
