Cash prizes as indicated will be awarded to the winning entries.

There will be cash awards for the best float entries in the following categories: 1. Best Greek Float $100.00 2. Best Residence Hall Float $100.00 3. Best Independent Float $100.00 Floats will be judged by the following criteria: creativity, originality, school spirit, and participation. Judging will take place during the Parade. NON-FLOAT Our definition of non-float is any non-wheeled or other entry such as clowns, dancers, performers, jugglers, etc. There will be a cash award for the best non-float entry. 1. Best Non-float $100.00 * *If it does not have wheels-it is a non-float entry. Remember: All entries must have filled out a parade entry form to be eligible to win awards.
