Follow these steps in order to increase your chances of seeing your name on the ballot.
Check with your high school about nomination rules. You may be required to a be a senior at some schools. Other schools may only require that you be a junior. Other schools may require that you are nominated by a club or athletic team of which you are a member.

Participants in activities are also perceived as well-rounded, which is one of the desirable qualities wanted in a homecoming court nominee.
Launch your own mini-campaign. Use your social media pages in order to let people know you want to be nominated. Make posts on Facebook walls or tweet to let your friends and acquaintances know about your interest in being nominated. Make friends with as many students in your high school as you can in order to increase awareness of your interest.
