Contest Rules and Prizes

As the Washburn Ichabods prepare to take the field at Arrowhead Stadium for the first time ever in November, a social media contest aims to give lucky Ichabod fans a lasting memory. 

Contest winners will receive an all-inclusive experience at the first Fall Classic against Northwest Missouri State University on Nov. 15 at Arrowhead Stadium.

"I wish I'd had that opportunity to play at Arrowhead when I played in college," said Joe Hastings, a former All-American at Washburn and a personnel assistant with the Philadelphia Eagles. "That is going to be an unbelievable experience for the guys on the team now."

Beginning Monday and continuing through midnight on Nov. 3, the #BodsAtArrowhead Ichabod Blitz will challenge Washburn fans -- students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends -- to share their love for all things Ichabod on their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds.

"We want to see Ichabod sprit in all forms: at work, at play with the Ichabods and whatever Ichabod spirit is to you," said Michaela Saunders, web editor in the Office of University Relations. "We want to see the excitement for #BodsAtArrowhead build over the next six weeks leading up to the game. This is a historic opportunity for the Washburn football program and we want our student athletes to know we support them."

The contest was developed and is being coordinated by social media managers from several university departments, including Saunders and Ernie Webb, of the Washburn Alumni Association. The goal is to build excitement toward the Nov. 15 Fall Classic football game at Arrowhead Stadium against Northwest Missouri State University. Northwest Missouri is officially the home team for this year's game.


There are four steps to the contest:

1. Twitter:  A photo representing your Washburn spirit. Tweet it using #BodsAtArrowhead.
2. Facebook: A photo or video of you attending a Washburn athletic event, tagging the Washburn Ichabods Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/wusports) and using #BodsAtArrowhead. (You will have to like the page in order to tag it in your photo.)
3. Instagram: A photo or video of you involved in your academic or professional pursuits. Tell us what you do and post it to Instagram using #BodsAtArrowhead.
4. When you're finished, send a Facebook message to facebook.com/wusports with all three of your usernames. We'll reach out to you via social media if you are a winner.

Those who complete all four steps of the contest will be entered into a random drawing for one of three prize packages valued at hundreds of dollars each, all including tickets, transportation, a gift card and more. The prizes have been made possible with support from Washburn Athletics, Ichabod Shop and the Washburn University Foundation.
