2026 Bowl Special Prizes: Team Name and Song

Join in the annual Best Team Name and Team Song Prizes awarded to the 2026 Bowl teams who take part.

Schools can have two teams, which means that each team can vote on its own name and song. The only rule: the team name or song (the song can be an original composition) must have an ethics/philosophy or philosopher association or connection.

Here are a few previous team names and songs selected for "Best" awards.

Team Names-Past Winners
Kant Stop the Trolley-Ann Arbor Skyline HS Team 2
Locke-d In-Ann Arbor Huron HS Team 2
Cosmic Conscience-Hamtramck HS                                                     

Team Songs-Past Winners
"Free Will" by Rush-Beaverton HS
"Stuck in the Crib" original song by Educate Youth, Ypsilanti Community Schools
"All of the Lights" by Kanye West et. al.-University Liggett School Team 2

A cash prize of $75.00 is awarded for the winning team name and song and announced at the 2026 Bowl weekend. Submissions should be given to your school faculty coach by Friday, January 16, 2026.

What's a philosophy festival without a team name and a song to sing and dance to?
