iPROMOTEu’s DunkFest 2025 is back for its 17th year, bringing even more excitement to March Madness with the addition of a Women’s NCAA Tournament Bracket Challenge. This expansion gives participants the chance to compete in both the men’s and women’s tournaments, making DunkFest bigger and better than ever.
“DunkFest is one of the most engaging traditions in the promotional products industry because it is all about fun, friendly competition, and bringing people together,” said Lori Bauer, CEO of iPROMOTEu. “iPROMOTEu has a long history of promoting women’s achievements, so with the incredible rise in women’s college basketball we are including their tournament in this year’s DunkFest challenge. Not only to recognize the popularity and influence of women’s basketball but to celebrate all the incredible athletes who qualify for the March Madness tournaments.”
DunkFest 2025 is open to everyone in the promotional products industry working as or for a distributor, supplier, or service provider, including distributor salespeople, supplier salespeople, and multi-line reps. Participants in the men’s and women’s bracket challenges will compete for awards, special recognition, and the ultimate prize—bragging rights.
Last year’s DunkFest brought together 230 participants from across the industry, with Mickey Mann of Image Packaging taking home the top prize. Other winners included professionals from Sir Logo, NC Custom, IMS Retail, Brett Lewis Promotions, Q Group, CHIPS Inc., and Spector Marketing Group LLC.
