Tournament of Roses Accepting Royal Court Applications

The application period for the Tournament of Roses Royal Court will open Monday.

No Royal Court was selected last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which also forced the cancellation of the Rose Parade for the first time since World War II.

Applications will be available on the Tournament of Roses’ website https://tournamentofroses.com/about/royal-court/.

The seven Royal Court members who are ultimately selected to preside over the 133rd Rose Bowl and 108th Rose Bowl Game will each receive $7,500 scholarships and serve as ambassadors of the Tournament of Roses.

The first round of interviews will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 11.

A second round will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. Sept 13.

The final interviews will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. Sept. 28.

The Royal Court will be announced at 9 a.m. Oct. 4 and the Rose Queen will be crowned at 5 p.m. Oct. 26.
