Area businesses are invited to compete in the Bemidji State University Alumni & Foundation’s annual BSU Spirit Window Contest next week and help paint the town green for Homecoming.

Businesses can decorate their window displays and storefronts with all things Beavers to get ready for Homecoming week on Sept. 29-Oct. 5. Participating businesses will also be entered to win the BSU Spirit Window Contest, with voting taking place on the Bemidji State University Alumni & Foundation Facebook page from Sept. 29-Oct. 2.

The photo that receives the most “reactions” will determine the winner. Only reactions on the photos posted by the BSUAF will be counted toward the final tally (i.e., likes on reshared posts will not count).

To enter, decorate your storefront and email a photo of your completed display to angela.schmidt@bemidjistate.edu no later than Sunday, Sept. 28. Entries will be posted on Facebook in the order they were received.

For more information or for questions, contact Angela Schmidt at angela.schmidt@bemidjistate.edu or 218-755-2599.
