VOTING IS NOW CLOSED AND THE RESULTS OF THE POLL WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE JUDGES WHO WILL COMBINE THE VOTES WITH THEIR SCORING TO DETERMINE THE WINNERS.
The entries are locked in, the pom-poms have been fluffed and now it’s your turn to get involved because voting is officially OPEN for the 2026 Cheerleaders That Rock competition!
The competition once again showcases the incredible energy, talent and spirit of cheerleading squads from universities competing in the FNB Varsity Cup and FNB Varsity Shield. Now it’s up to you to help decide which team rises to the top.
While public voting adds to the excitement, it forms only part of the final score. The winners will be determined through a combination of fan votes and professional judging in collaboration with the South African Majorettes and Cheerleading Association (SAMCA).
The top 3 teams will win cash prizes:
1st Place: R10 000
2nd Place: R5 000
3rd place is R2 000
