Calling all Pitt Fans! The NFL FAN OF THE YEAR PRESENTED BY CAPTAIN MORGAN contest is officially on!

In this story:
PITTSBURGH -- From Aaron Donald to Tyler Boyd to Dane Jackson and Damar Hamlin - the Pitt Panthers are in prime position to be represented well in this year's Super Bowl, and a few lucky Pitt fans could join them for the big game in Glendale, Arizona.
Sports Illustrated is teaming up with Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum and the NFL to find football fans across the country who love their team and rally others to spice up the game every single Sunday. If you or someone you know brings their own flavor of fun to fandom, nominate them at nfl.com/fanoftheyear for a chance at a seriously spiced up Super Bowl LVII experience and the ultimate tailgate bragging rights.
We are looking for fans who go above and beyond for gameday - whether yinz are tailgating dahn in the Acrisure Stadium lots or hosting a watch party from home, we want to know why your gameday experience is special.
You can head to nfl.com/fanoftheyear to nominate either yourself or someone else. Fill out the form and tell us why you think you’ve found your team’s #FanOfTheYear, and don’t forget to upload a picture or video showing your fan in action.
Get creative and you could find yourself as the winner, which will be announced live on stage at the 2023 NFL Honors, the NFL’s primetime award special, during Super Bowl Week in Phoenix.
The winner will be celebrated by their affiliated team all year long and the winner will receive prizes including a trip for two to Phoenix for Super Bowl LVII Weekend, plus VIP perks like appearing in Sports Illustrated in a Captain Morgan cover ad, passes to the Sports Illustrated Super Bowl party, access to the NFL’s Super Bowl LVII Experience, and two tickets to Super Bowl LVII.
