The Capital One Bowl sponsors the yearly "Mascot of the Year" contest where all the fans can vote for their own college mascot. Capital One started a new college tradition of the Capital One All-America Mascot Team in the year 2002. The Capital One Bowl devoted one day to the new heroes of college football. Capital One has nominations to all NCAA Division 1 A and AA schools with college football programs each year. There is a panel of judges that consists of Capital One representatives, as well as representatives of the mascot community and ESPN.

After the All-Americans are named, Capital One starts a contest to choose the national mascot of the year. Fans make their decision by means of voting for their mascot at the official homepage of the Capital One Bowl. The sum of money each All-American receives for its school's mascot program is about $5,000. As far as Mascot of the Year is concerned, the sum given to him includes an additional $5,000.
