2025 Cap Decorating
Graduation is right around the corner, and we want to see your creativity shine! You're invited to decorate your graduation cap and show off your personal flair. Whether your design is sentimental, silly, artistic, or just totally unique to you, we can’t wait to see what you come up with!
You can submit a photo of your decorated cap beforehand, or have your photo taken on graduation day. Some of these awesome caps will be featured on our social media (just a heads up: not all submissions will be posted, depending on content and appropriateness).
Get crafty, get bold—your cap, your story!
