    Published 

  1. The Inquirer’s Mascot Bracket is a reader and community project open to all registered Inquirer users who reside in the United States of America, except where prohibited by law. No purchase necessary. One Mascot Bracket submission per person.

  2. By submitting a Mascot Bracket, you support your favorite Philly Mascots, which is a reward in itself. This is not a sweepstakes; no prizes will be awarded for submissions, but The Inquirer will donate $1,000 to the winning mascot’s school on or before May 1, 2024 and will present the winning mascot’s school with a commemorative banner during the 2024-25 academic year.

  3. If you are not a registered Inquirer user, simply become one by registering here. Then, fill out and submit a Mascot Bracket on Inquirer.com to reflect your favorite mascots, and submit your Mascot Bracket during the Mascot Bracket Timeline.

  4. If you are already registered with The Inquirer, you don’t need to re-register; just fill out and submit a Mascot Bracket during the Mascot Bracket Timeline.

  5. You can submit your Mascot Bracket on Inquirer.com from March 12, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. until April 5, 2024 at 4:00 p.m., Philadelphia time (the “Mascot Bracket Timeline”). No late or misdirected Mascot Brackets will be considered.

  6. The winning Mascot will be determined by The Inquirer based on Mascot Bracket submissions submitted during the Mascot Bracket timeline. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s determination of the winner is final and binding.

  7. The winning mascot will be announced on April 16, 2024 at 8:00 a.m., Philadelphia time, at https://www.inquirer.com/sports/mascot-bracket-results-2024.html and by email to everyone who submitted a Mascot Bracket to The Inquirer during the Mascot Bracket Timeline.

  8. By registering, creating an account, and/or submitting a Mascot Bracket, you agree to these Mascot Bracket Rules, The Inquirer’s Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy, which include your consent to receive emails and newsletters from The Philadelphia Inquirer.

  9. Employees of The Philadelphia Inquirer, LLC, its affiliates, and their immediate family members are not eligible to enter. Only those over 18 may submit a Mascot Bracket.

  10. The Mascot Bracket project is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and void where prohibited by law. The Mascot Bracket project is organized, administered, and sponsored solely by The Philadelphia Inquirer, LLC. No mascots, schools, or teams are responsible for any aspect of this project. Good luck to all mascots!
