Homecoming Court 2021

SIU Homecoming Royalty Competition is a long-celebrated tradition at SIU. Candidates must submit a detailed application, resume, and reference letter and then be interviewed. Once chosen for the court by a panel of judges, candidates must campaign on campus for their fellow Saluki votes. Royalty will be announced on the 50-yard line during halftime of the SIU Homecoming Football game.

Voting extends from 8:00 a.m. on Monday, October 10 through 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 13. Visit MyCourses to vote for your favorite candidates.
