Welcome to the Homecoming Events Page!
Homecoming Window Display Contest will occur at UConn from October 15th to the 21st. This year, we’ve got a great combination of your favorite traditional events, combined with some great new ways to show your husky spirit. The Stamford Window Contest originates from the banner display contest out of Storrs. We work in collaboration with Storrs each year to ensure similarities in contest rules and themes.
This years theme is Carnival of Champions. The goal is to continue celebrating the National Championship win and emphasizing pride in being a UConn student. The theme also ties in one of Storrs traditional events: Homecoming Carnival, which will take place on Sunday, October 15th.

Window Display Registration
Window Display Contest
The window display contest is UConn Stamford's twist on the banner contest hosted at Storrs. Participants will have the opportunity to paint a window pane in accordance to the Homecoming theme - and yes, it's the same theme as Storrs! Windows must be completed by October 13. The windows will be on display for the entire week of Homecoming (October 16 – 21)!
Paint, brushes and cups will be supplied by the Student Activities Office.
Sensitivity Clause
When submitting a Window Painting Registration, an organization/department takes responsibility for all actions of the group or the individuals of said group while participating in Homecoming events. Entries should not be offensive to anyone. If any group entry is deemed offensive by either the judges or the Homecoming Committee, the organization will be immediately disqualified from that Homecoming event and will not receive any participation points for that event. The Rules Committee will reserve the right to take further action against the group if deemed necessary.

- Window should be CLEARLY MARKED with your team.
- Winners will be announced on Monday, October 23 on Social Media & in the Weekly E-Bulletin.
