Win bragging rights with your name engraved on the coveted Eagleton Cup and cement your place in history. In addition to cup engraving and bragging rights, the winner this election year will have a choice of prizes, including a copy of the book These Truths: A History of the United States by Jill Lepore or a limited, anniversary-edition Eagleton mug.
