The day to celebrate all of Mountaineer Nation is quickly approaching. West Virginia University will hold the third-ever Mountaineer Nation Day on Oct. 25.

Mountaineer Nation Day is a 24-hour period dedicated to fans and their pride and passion for WVU. This year’s celebration will take place on the day the football team takes on Oklahoma State.

We encourage all of our fans from around the world to register their watch parties for the game at http://MountaineerNationDay.wvu.edu. In two years, we have had nearly 1,000 watch parties on Mountaineer Nation Day. When you register a watch party, you’re automatically entered to win a WVU prize pack and will receive a 15 percent discount at ShopWVU.com to purchase officially licensed WVU gear.

You’ll also have many opportunities to win prizes leading up to and during Mountaineer Nation Day.

Starting on Oct. 20, show us how you spread your Mountaineer pride by posting a photo or video on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter with the #WVUMND hashtag. Be creative! We want to see the passion that makes our fan base so special, from a photo collage of your trips around the country to see a WVU game to a video you made in your WVU gear singing “Country Roads.” The most prideful, creative and elaborate response will receive two tickets to the WVU football game against TCU, a parking pass and two passes to the WVU Alumni Assocation’s Hail WV pregame event.

While WVU employees are ineligible to participate in the contest, they may compete for a WVU prize pack by submitting photos of themselves or their office showing off their Mountaineer spirit. Send your photos to trademarklicensing@mail.wvu.edu by Oct. 24.

Follow WVU’s Twitter account for more information leading up to Mountaineer Nation Day including contests on the day of the game to win officially licensed WVU products. We also encourage you to follow us on Instagram and Facebook. Remember to use #WVUMND on any of your social media accounts to let us know you’re ready for the big day!

All of our winners will receive a limited edition official Mountaineer Nation Day t-shirt. You can’t find these shirts in stores, either, so it’s your only chance to earn one.

This year’s sponsors are: 4Imprint, Bleacher Creature, Collegiate Bead Company, Logo Chair, ShopWVU.com, Wild Sports, the WVU Alumni Association, the WVU Bookstore and WVU Dining Services.
