THE IOWA CHALLENGE
As a University of Iowa student, you become part of the Hawkeye family—students
and alumni transformed by their experiences at Iowa. The University asks you to
follow their example and rise to the challenge of these five expectations:
EXCEL.
Academic excellence means setting and meeting high standards for yourself as a student.
Faculty, staff and other students will ask you to work hard and push yourself intellectually.
We expect a lot of you; you should expect only the best from yourself and the University.
STRETCH.
At Iowa, you will find diversity of people, ideas, opportunities, and experiences. That
diversity is one of the benefits of being an Iowa student. Step away from the familiar, try
new ideas, experience new cultures and learn from people different from yourself.
ENGAGE.
You will be a more successful student and enjoy yourself more if you spend your time and
energy on activities that matter. The University of Iowa offers almost limitless opportunities and
the resources to help you become a leader in and out of the classroom. Take advantage of them.
CHOOSE.
Every day you make decisions that affect your education and your future. Take
your choices seriously and use your freedom wisely. Your Iowa education is what
you make it. Make it something you and your University can be proud of.
SERVE.
As an Iowa student, you are a member of many communities, on and off the campus.
You have the opportunity and responsibility to be a good neighbor and citizen
and to serve the community. Make your community a great place to live.

(PLEASE SEE ATTACHED APPLICATION)
The following rules and guidelines are to be met by all entrants in the 2019 Homecoming Parade: Friday,

fees will NOT be refunded for any reason including inclement weather. Please retain these instructions and bring
them to your assigned mandatory parade meeting at 7:30pm or 9:00pm on Monday October 14th, 2019 in
the Iowa Theater (formerly Bijou) in the IMU. Questions may be directed to the Homecoming Parade Directors:
Elizabeth Jackson (elizabeth-jackson@uiowa.edu) or Joseph Verry (joseph-verry@uiowa.edu).
Completely fill out the application form. Incomplete applications will not be accepted.
1. An entry fee is required of EVERY entry and must accompany the application. There are four entry
classes, each of which must follow the vehicle/float dimensions: Height: 12ft, Length: 60ft, Width: 100in.
(including rails), Street Clearance: 12 in. above ground.
Class 1: Traditional float entries: all participants must provide their own pulling mechanism and transportation (if

may be present on or around the float entry.
Class 2: Walking and non-motorized entries: may consist of a maximum of 60 people on foot, person-powered, or
animal-powered vehicles (example: bicycles, big wheels or horse and carriage).
Class 3: Motorized vehicles without floats (example: cars or tractors): The number of vehicles included in this entry
space will be dependent on the size of the vehicles. In such entries there must be an interval between vehicles equal to
the vehicle length (example: for a vehicle six feet in length, there must be a six foot distance between that and all other
vehicle(s) in the entry). If the vehicles are of varying sizes the space between vehicles must be equivalent to the length
of the largest vehicle in the entry.
Class 4: Novelty Unity entries (ex: military equipment, fire equipment, antique vehicles, etc.): those that do not fit into
any of the above three categories. These entries will be considered unique and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis
by the Homecoming Council. All decisions by the Homecoming Council are final.
Entries exceeding the above restrictions must pay an additional $100 entry fee for each additional entry
space needed. Any entry which is found to be in violation of any parade or university policies and/or
state or local laws during the parade or parade line-up will be removed without refund of entry fee.
2. A MANDATORY MEETING WILL BE HELD FOR ALL ENTRIES. A representative from your entry is
required to attend. Failure to do so will result in loss of entry fee and disqualification from the parade.
The position of each entry will be announced at this time and this list will be reviewed. You will be
choosing a meeting time of either 7:30pm or 9pm. This meeting will be held Monday October 14th, 2019.
It is very important that one member attends this meeting!
3. NO alcoholic beverages or illegal substances will be allowed on or near the entries prior to or during
the parade. If alcoholic beverages and/or illegal substances or their containers are found, or the person
operating any type of vehicle (example: motorized, bicycles, etc.) is suspected of having consumed
alcohol, the entry will be pulled from the parade. Police assistance will be used if necessary.
4. Entries may not display advertisement for alcohol or tobacco (examples: banners, logos, etc.) on their float.
5. NO candy, leaflets, food, pencils, or other items may be THROWN from the entries at any time.
HOWEVER, candy, leaflets or other items may be HANDED out, under the following circumstances:
A minimum of two persons must be on each side of the entry, at the outermost edges of the street
at ALL TIMES, to pass out items to spectators. Entries violating this policy will be removed from the
parade and entry will not be refunded. This will be enforced by parade security and the Iowa City Police.

7. All entries including children ages 12 and under will be required to have a ratio of one adult to every

8. Proceed to your assigned location in the parade staging area no later than 3pm so that line-up can
be positioned properly. The parade will begin at exactly 5:45pm and the flow of entries will proceed
according to the parade route and staging area maps.
9. DO NOT bring extraneous vehicles into the staging area. Additional vehicles will delay the start of the
parade and will be towed at the owner’s expense.

faculty, staff and community leaders. One float will be awarded “Best of Show” for fulfilling the
requirements of Hawkeye Spirit.
12. Under no circumstances will a group be allowed to stop during the parade. (Specifically marching bands
should not stop to perform). The parade will move at a constant flow and will only stop in the event that
the preceding entry stops. If any entry cannot proceed at any point during the parade, (i.e.. mechanical
breakdown, etc.) please exit the parade route at the nearest possible exit or move to the side of the
parade route and immediately inform the next entry to continue around you.
13. Any participants who wish to have animals in their entry must indicate use on the attached application.
Entrants are responsible for the cleaning and disposal of any waste produced by the animals. Though
animals may be present, they may not leave the transportation vehicle.
Failure to abide by the above policies will result in dismissal
from the 2019 Homecoming Parade without refund.
Applications will not be processed without payment in full by the scheduled application deadline.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If applicants select a Class 1 entry (traditional float), that organization will receive $20 off the
application fee.
Check out the Homecoming website for more information.
homecoming.uiowa.edu
We strongly recommend Class 1 entries this year, as Class 1 entries will take priority over all other
entries. For example, if application numbers 134 and 135 are walking entries, and application
numbers 136 and 137 are both Class 1 entries, numbers 136 & 137 will move up in position, knocking
applications 134 and 135 down in the order, resulting in them being put on the wait list.
