About Mascot Hall of Fame
The Mascot Hall of Fame is an online museum for sports mascots. Prior to this, it operated a physical location between 2018 and 2024 as an interactive children's museum. It was founded by David Raymond who was the original Phillie Phanatic from 1978 to 1993, along with co-founder Christopher Bruce.
Mascots were first elected to the hall of fame in 2005. Subsequent elections occurred in 2006, 2007, and 2008. No additional elections took place until 2017. Regular inductions did not begin until 2022.
Mascots are elected into the Mascot Hall of Fame by the voting public and are reviewed by an executive committee made up of performers, sports executives, and other individuals intimate with the mascot community. The mascots go through a nomination process that ends with the executive committee selecting six finalist in each category to be placed on the ballot for consideration.
Over the years, the Mascot Hall of Fame has added additional awards, including Best Corporate Use for Brand, and Best Live Mascot.
To be eligible for the Mascot Hall of Fame, a mascot must have existed for a minimum of 10 years. They must also impact both their sport and community, inspire their fans, and consistently give memorable and groundbreaking performances.
