The deadline to submit all WGI Hall of Fame nominees is November 14, 2025 at 11:59 pm.
This is your chance to help recognize individuals from the winter percussion activity (color guard nominations are accepted on odd-numbered years) at World Championships.
WGI accepts posthumous nominations for the Hall of Fame to ensure that the legacies of deserving individuals continue to be celebrated and remembered, even if they are no longer with us.
To submit a nomination for the 2026 WGI Hall of Fame, submit a letter of nomination to the WGI Hall of Fame Committee Chairperson, following the outline below:
1. Be sure to include the full name, home address, home, work telephone numbers (including area code), and a headshot of the person you are nominating.
2. Please explain in detail why you feel that this candidate should be considered for induction into the WGI Hall of Fame (please limit your letter to two pages maximum). To see a detailed list of criteria for candidates, click here.
3. Include your name, home address, home and work telephone numbers (including area code) along with your signature and the date you completed and submitted the letter.

Nominations with more or less than three (3) letters of support will not be accepted.
