CHICAGO (WLS) -- Life for graduating seniors this year was disrupted in unimaginable ways. No prom. No classroom finals. No spring sports season.



While we can't bring back the graduation ceremony seniors were expecting, Mayor Lightfoot and the team at Citadel have found a special way to honor you all.



2020 will be a graduation like no other.



On June 14 at 1 p.m. CT, we will host a Chicago-wide celebration honoring all of you.



This is your moment in the sun. You didn't get to walk across the stage this year, but here's your chance to shine. Film yourself dancing, flipping your tassel, showing school spirit - whatever you want - and we will feature some of your videos in our special broadcast on June 14.



Video requirements:


  • Shoot on your phone in a quiet area with NO MUSIC playing in the background. If there's music playing, we can't use it
