U.S. Polo Assn. challenged intercollegiate partners at universities and colleges across the country to a social media contest. Sporting U.S. Polo Assn. attire, student athletes were encouraged to develop creative content from college polo life and post on social media at least twice a month, tag U.S. Polo Assn. and use the brand’s hashtags. Despite a shortened school year, an overwhelming 28 schools participated in the Collegiate Program and were awarded for their variety of high-quality content and originality.

U.S. Polo Assn. is proud to announce this year's contest winners:
