Students can now vote for the University of Georgia\u2019s 2026 Homecoming king and queen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Voting will close Friday at noon. Students can use this link<\/a> or UGA Homecoming\u2019s Instagram page (@ugahomecoming) to access the UGA Involvement Network, where ballots are available.<\/p>\n

The Homecoming Court is composed of 10 students. Students are nominated through a participating student organization and can then apply to be on the court. A panel of judges decides the final 10-person court.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEach of these students embody the spirit of Homecoming and are extraordinary bulldogs,\u201d UGA Homecoming said in an Instagram post.<\/p>\n

The nominees for queen are Lauren Baker, Myla Brown, Kayla Calloway, Journee Jordan and Carter Nichols.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The nominees for king are Jack Hobgood, Blake Martin, Luke Williams, Trey Wilson and Mark Zimmer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Winners will be crowned during halftime at the Homecoming game against Vanderbilt on Oct. 3.<\/p>\n

Information about each nominee is available on the organization’s Instagram page and can also be found on UGA\u2019s Engagement, Leadership and Service website.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Students can now vote for the University of Georgia\u2019s 2026 Homecoming king and queen.\u00a0 Voting will close Friday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":359096,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[133643,6080,133641,416,43024,133645,133642,133647,9,24,63,122,124,123,133648,133639,133646,133644,133640,91646],"class_list":["post-359095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-ugahomecoming","tag-apple","tag-athens-news","tag-elections","tag-homecoming","tag-homecoming-court","tag-homecoming-instagram","tag-leadershop-and-service","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-student-events","tag-uga","tag-uga-engagenment","tag-uga-involvement-netwrok","tag-uga-news","tag-university-of-georgia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=359095"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359095\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/359096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=359095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=359095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=359095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
