Godiva's Crown (sometimes erroneously known as Godiva or Lady Godiva) is an engineering student who has been chosen to represent the spirit of [[Lady Godiva]] at Skule™. They are selected during a [[Godiva Week]] competition in which they must perform a creative act in front of a panel of (mostly) male judges and the reigning Godiva's Crown. Godiva's Crown holds Princess, the ceremonial wooden horse, as well as the signature Crown for the year. They are present at many Skule™ events to improve Skule™ spirit.

The Crown worn by Godiva's Crown is a unique hardhat, from which a distinctive crown shape is carved, with the sides of the crown emblazoned with the suit representing the year (i.e. the ''Queen of Hearts'' or the ''Queen of Clubs''). The 'suit' for each Godiva's Crown rotates each year in a four-year cycle.

Godiva's Crown traditionally shares the first dance at [[Cannonball]] with [[Mr. Blue & Gold]], and starts the [[Bed Races]], organized by the [[Blue & Gold Committee]], during [[F!rosh Week]] each year.
==History==
In the past, each Godiva's Crown contestant was asked to humorously use power tools to nail, hammer, drill, and screw together a small wooden object in front of the judges.
==Competition==
The Godiva's Crown Competition has traditionally been held on Thursday evening of [[Godiva Week]]. The competition involves a creative act which may include a skit, song, or dance. There are no requirements to the act, and many acts have involved the use of props, supporting cast, and multimedia presentations.
===Judging===
The judging panel usually consists of seven judges - six engineering students (mostly male, which must include exactly one F!rosh) and the reigning Godiva's Crown (who is the head judge). The judges are generally chosen by the reigning Godiva's Crown or organizers of the event, and is decided by their (humourous) responses to a series of questions.

Following each act, the judges generally write their comments on whiteboards to be read out by the MC of the night. These comments are humorous in nature, and are not meant to factor into the official judging of the act. The judges also have opportunities to ask questions to the contestants after their act.

The judges, although chosen impartially, have been known to enjoy tasty treats and refreshing BEvERages to aid in their selection of the winning contestant. Many contestants choose to make their 'bribery' in a public fashion during their act, with judges favourably receiving creative and personalized gifts.

The judges congregate in a secret location following the last act, and vote for the next Godiva's Crown. Following the decision, the reigning Godiva's Crown announces awards for each of the contestants, and the winner of the title. The new Godiva's Crown then takes the Oath, and is presented with the Godiva's Crown hardhat, the Godiva sashes, the ceremonial horse, and the flags for the Blue & Gold Bed Races.

Mr. Blue & Gold is the bearer of the Skule™ colours (Blue & Gold) at the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. They are selected during a Godiva Week competition in which they must perform a creative act for a panel of judges and the reigning Mr. Blue & Gold. The holder of the title of Mr. Blue & Gold must drop their pants on command for any Skuleigain who asks. Mr. Blue & Gold has one of the most unique hardhats in Skule™, with a trademarked half-blue and half-gold shell laced together down the middle, with a large Skule™ patch on the front.

==History==
''Insert history here''
==Competition==
The Mr. Blue & Gold Competition has traditionally been held on Wednesday evening of [[Godiva Week]]. Historically, the competition used to consist of two main parts. First, in a humourous gesture, each Mr. Blue & Gold contestant is asked to put on a set of feminine garments and to pose in front of the judges seductively, which is no longer done.

The main part of the competition involves a creative act which may include a skit, song, or dance. There are no requirements to the act, so long as the candidate ends up in only their underwear at the end of their act. Some popular acts have used fire, water, or other props to humour the judges.
===Judging===
The judging panel usually consists of seven judges - six engineering students (which must include exactly one F!rosh) and the reigning Mr. Blue & Gold (who is the head judge). The judges are generally chosen by the organizers of the event, and are decided by their (humourous) responses to a series of questions. The judging panel used to be comprised of six female engineering students, who were chosen by Mr. Blue and Gold.

Following each act, the judges generally write their comments on a white board to be read out by the MC of the night.

==Songs==
As if singing during F!rosh Week wasn't enough, John and Henry came up with another two songs (and this time they used Jordan Silverman as their backup), which they then sung for the Mr. Blue & Gold audience (2007) while the judges were off deliberating... this is the first of the two (sung to the tune of 'Just The Two Of Us'): We saw the singing and the dance And obsession with the pants But now the magical night is done The judges, they go to decide In which contestant theu confide One of these guys, will have won '''CHORUS:''' Mr. Blue & Gold! They will drop their pants on cue! Mr. Blue & Gold, Mr. Blue & Gold Mr. Blue & Gold Which will it be? Tell me who! Mr. Blue & Gold, maybe you! '''Henry:''' We see that Owen's hat was big And he still smells like a pig But of his act, we were fond The cards, they flew through the air What a wizard, with that flair But he wouldn't show Jess his wand '''John:''' Ted tried hard but came up short Although he is a pretty good sport If he wants to win, he must go big And since it seems that he likes Grease Maybe next year then at least He will run as the Greased Pig '''Henry:''' Frosted flakes are really great And everybody here got laid To his act, we say "hurrah" Aramark brought the tiger in, We bet he drank a lot of gin, Why was he wearing a bra? '''John:''' Saving damsels in distress, Batman manages to undress For superheroes that is the norm The old show was really lame And Mark's act was much the same But he beat calculus with porn '''Henry:''' We have three steps here for Dave, Maybe his act, they could save One find some original shit Two please don't look like hell, Three don't steal from SNL, And that's the way you do it! '''Henry:''' The rugby team was pretty cool, And they play real hard for Skule But hit the showers, you guys reek It's the same act every year Maybe show a little effort here? At least you guys know the days of the week '''John:''' We're pleased to see a F!rosh try out Everyone give him a shout Although he is sure to lose But how will he cope with his rage? Since he is not yet of age To drown his sorrows in booze. '''John:''' We thought the wannabes were good But maybe Thomas' act should Include some small amount of skill We know he tried, tried real hard But he is a tun of lard If we don't tell him, who will? '''Henry:''' And now as we come to a close, Who should win? Nobody knows Although our song keeps going on '''John:''' But if you want next year to rule And to bring glory to Skule, Mr. Blue & Gold should be Henry and John!
