Host. Celebrate. Compete.
Party Bragging Rights
SELF party hosts can compete for a portion of $1,400 in prizes and earn bragging rights for the year. Categories include Best Decorations, Best Booze, Best Original Idea, Best Food, Most Fun, Friendliest, and The Ultimate Party.
Category winners receive a sash and an additional full package for their hosted event the following year. The Ultimate Party winner also receives $75 toward the next hosted event.
Help Judge the Parties
Registered SELF participants may enter the random drawing to serve as Party Judges. Judges visit their assigned parties, score each category, and help recognize the hosts who create memorable social experiences.
