The High School Mascot Bracket Challenge is here! Thirty-two local high school mascots will battle it out in a bracket-style competition, with schools facing off in head-to-head matchups as the field is narrowed each round until only two remain for the championship. The last mascot standing will earn a $5,000 grand prize for its school to use toward extracurricular activities like athletics, music, art, drama, clubs, and more, thanks to Prospera Credit Union and Wishlane Aesthetics.

Vote once per day, per device, on any Woodward Community Media radio station website (WAPL, Razor Wisconsin, KISS-FM, The Fuse, WHBY, and The Score). Votes from every station will be combined each round, and the mascots with the most votes will advance through the bracket until one champion is crowned. Vote every day and help your school’s mascot make its run to the title!
