Fans, family, students, community, players, and supporters have until 12:00 Noon on Thursday, December 14, 2023 to vote for the player or school they think should win a host of awards concluding this year's football season.


Any player or school can be submitted to win any award or multiple awards. Anyone can vote however many times they like too. It doesn't matter if the player is a freshman or senior or whether he attended a public school or private school. The only requirement is that the student must have played this current football season at a Mississippi school.


With a pool of over 50,000 athletes, 300 + schools, and 7 districts throughout the entire state of Mississippi, this year's award show is anticipated to draw at least 100,000 viewers for the historic night.


Whichever school has the most registered attendees watching the exciting awards show will automatically win a $5,000 grant. Schools can use the money for whatever they choose too. The winner will be announced at the end of the awards show.


Students that receive scholarships can apply the scholarships to whatever college they choose. That scholarship can be used however the student chooses for it to be used.


This award show is not just about being the best in the state, but it's also about helping to send as many kids as possible to college and helping to improve local schools. Ticket sales are anticipated to be high. Obviously, the more tickets sold, the more students can receive scholarships.


Anyone can watch the award show anywhere in the world as the show will be broadcasted online on the Friday Night Under the Lights platform. The platform has millions of visitors each month. The awards show host, Russ Robinson, who also host of FNUTL, has called over 5,000 regular, championship, and all-star games in Mississippi.
