Paint the Town Blue

Calling all Wildcats - it's time to Paint The Town Blue! Our annual Homecoming celebration is right around the corner and we need your help to spread UK spirit all across campus and downtown. As a UK fan, there's nothing better than showing off your Wildcat pride. This year we're going bigger and bolder to welcome back alumni and get everybody pumped up for the big game. This community-wide spirit opportunity is open to all fans: student organizations, sororities and fraternities, UK offices and departments, local businesses, alumni and friends.

Here's all you have to do to participate: Get out all your blue and white decorations and have fun! Want to create a banner? Great! Have a box full of pompoms? Hang them from the ceiling! Paint a Wildcat on your storefront window. Let your creative spirit loose and show us what you've got. The most spirited entry will receive special recognition at the Homecoming Block Party at the brand-new Alumni Commons on Wednesday, October 11, as well as a trophy. 

Not only will you be supporting UK, you'll also get some great exposure for your organization, business or office space during homecoming when alumni and friends flood Lexington. And did we mention bragging rights for having the most spirit? It's easy to join in. Simply click the link to register for Paint the Town Blue.

All decorations should be submitted here by Monday, October 9, at 11:59 p.m. Judging will occur Tuesday, October 10 between 2 and 4 p.m.
