Going strong since 1987, Air Jam is Ball State's most popular Homecoming event! Come watch student organizations dance and compete in the annual lip-sync competition.  

Event Details

How to Enter the Competition

All groups who turn in an entry form will be submitted into a lottery. The lottery drawing will take place during an Instagram Live event, which starts at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 18 on the Ball State Homecoming Instagram page @bsuhomecoming

The first 20 teams drawn from the lottery system will compete in the show. Song choices will be given based on the order of the lottery drawing, 1 through 20.

There is a $200 non-refundable entry fee for each team selected in the lottery. Payment must be received from those 20 teams by Thursday, September 25. Each team must have a minimum of five people and a maximum of 10.
