It’s almost that special day! With homecoming right around the corner, the pressure is on to create the best HC proposal! Take a video or picture of the proposal and post it to Instagram using the hashtag #MVHC15 and tag @MV_Stampede. The top three people with the most creative proposals will be provided with free homecoming tickets to the dance for them and their dates, courtesy of MVStuGo. Each proposal must reflect the following rules and conditions:

• At least one person per couple must currently be attending Metea Valley
• Proposal must NOT disrupt a class or school activity – this includes lunch
• Proposals must follow the Metea L.I.F.E.

The Stampede staff will choose six finalists based off creativity and originality. The finalists’ pictures will be posted to Metea Media on Sept. 28 as a poll for the ‘Best Homecoming Proposal of 2015’. Proposals posted with the hashtag #MVHC15 until Sept. 27 at 11:59 pm will be considered for the contest. Polls will be open for students to vote on their favorite proposal from 2:25 p.m. on Sept. 28 until 1:00 p.m. Sept. 29. The winners will be announced on Sept. 29 during eighth period.

In order to qualify as a contestant:

You must currently be an enrolled Metea Valley student in order to participate.  All proposals must be appropriate and follow school conduct. Any inappropriate proposals will be disregarded. Any person who violates any rule or uses fraudulent means in order to gain an unfair advantage will be disqualified.  Disrespectful, disruptive, harassing, or threatening behavior is grounds for disqualification.  Students enrolled in Metea Valley’s News Journalism course are not eligible to win.  The Stampede Editorial Board, along with guidance from the adviser, will interpret these rules and resolve any disputes regarding the contest.  The Stampede’s decisions concerning any disputes will be final.
