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 (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 judges and the reigning Godiva's Crown. The holder of the title of Godiva's Crown must click their heels on command when any Skuligan says "Godiva" or their title "Queen of ___". 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.
+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. As a spirit head, Godiva's Crown is symbolically wed to [[Mr. Blue and Gold]].
 ==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.

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. Historically, the judging panel consisted of all male engineering students (except the reigning Godiva's Crown).
 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 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.
+Following the Oath, the new [[Mr. Blue and Gold]] (elected the previous night) will then propose to the new Godiva's Crown, and the two will remain "engaged" until their wedding during [[F!rosh Week|F!rosh week]].
