Organized and hosted by the UIS Observer, the Best of UIS and Beyond Contest is an opportunity for UIS students, faculty and staff to make their voices, and opinions, heard, and to potentially win one of several prizes donated by local businesses!
The contest consists of several “Best of” categories. Members of the UIS community can nominate people/places/things to be entered into each category and then vote on which should be considered the best!
Anyone with a University email is eligible to participate and we look forward to hearing from all members of the UIS community. Help us decide who should receive the title “Best of” in categories including: Best Spot for a Smoothie, Best Women’s and Men’s UIS Athlete, Best Meal at the UIS Student Union, Best Feature on Campus, Best Off Campus Coffee, and more!
The nomination period lasts from March 26-April 6 and the voting period of the contest is from April 7-17. For each part of the contest you are able to submit nominations or votes once every 24 hours.
For every day you nominate or vote in a category, you are entered for a chance to win one of over $500 worth of prizes, including:
- Make Art Kit from Springfield Art Association
- Gift certificates from:
Hae’s Bakery and Coffee Shop
Smoothie King
