    Are you #BaylorProud?

    Friday, September 4 — the start of the first weekend of college football for 2015 — will be celebrated nationwide as “College Colors Day.” Fans all over the country will wear their team’s colors to show their school pride on the opening weekend for college football.

    But at Baylor, we’ve got too much to be excited about to wait for one single day. So for the rest of August, we’re celebrating our Baylor pride. The best part? We’ve even got prizes!

    Here’s how it will work:

    1. Between now and Aug. 28, post a photo of how you show your Baylor pride to Twitter and/or Instagram using the hashtag “#BaylorProud,” then follow @Baylor and @BaylorProud on Twitter and @BaylorUniversity on Instagram to see what others are doing. (We’ll be sharing some favorite submissions along the way.)
    2. On Aug. 31, a gallery of our very favorite entries will be posted on the Baylor Facebook page. From then through Sept. 3, go like a photo (or multiple photos) in that Facebook gallery to vote for your favorite(s).
    3. On the night of Sept. 3 — less than 24 hours before the Bears kick off against SMU — the winning photo will be announced and shared on Baylor’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts. The winner will receive a $250 gift card to the Baylor Bookstore and will also be featured in a future issue of Baylor Magazine.
    4. On Sept. 4, wear your green and gold for College Colors Day, then root on Baylor football in the season opener at SMU (6 p.m., ESPN).
    5. Then on Sept. 8, show your pride in your alma mater one more time as we celebrate #BaylorProud Giving Day. Help us reach our goal of $75,000 to support current and future Bears through scholarships and excellence funds; stay tuned for more details. Every gift counts!

    Sic ’em, Bears!
