The competition is back in 2026. SUNY Mascot Madness is in its 13th year, and the competition keeps getting more fierce. This year, 37 SUNY mascots have entered but only one will end up voted NY's favorite college mascot and SUNY Mascot Ambassador when it's all done. These characters come from the north, south, east, and west of our state, from university centers to community colleges, in large sizes and small. Regardless of their location, they all share a spirit for their campus communities and the SUNY family that can't be beat.
