Packers' fan of the year nominees Tom Grossi and Matthias Kraus got to announce picks during NFL draft.
Nominations are open for the NFL Fan of the Year and International Fan of the Year contests.
Packers fans have had good results in recent contests. Tom Grossi was named the NFL Fan of the Year for 2023, while Matthias Kraus won the German NFL Fan of the Year award and was the Packers' International Fan of the Year nominee for 2024. Both Grossi and Krause announced draft picks from the stage during the 2025 NFL draft held at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
The contests celebrate football fans whose fandom goes above and beyond to inspire others. Grossi, for example, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital and other causes.
Football fans can nominate themselves or others for the two contests.
Nominations for NFL Fan of the Year can be made until Sept. 29. Each franchise will choose a finalist. One of the 32 nominees will be chosen as league winner during Super Bowl LX week. Each finalist receives a trip to the Super Bowl and other prizes and experiences leading up to the game.
David Lucero of Lexington, Kentucky, was Green Bay's nominee in 2024.
International Fan of the Year submissions can be made until Nov. 17. Again, each team will select a finalist, with one winner announced during the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh. Each finalist will receive a trip to the draft, along with prizes and exclusive experiences.
The International Fan of the Year contest is open to fans in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Ireland and New Zealand.
