Ever wish your Pepsi habit could score you more than caffeine? This time, it actually can. Pepsi has flipped its website into a drop hub—think limited-edition culture collabs, but instead of waiting in a resale queue, you can enter for free. The latest release is the Pepsi® Challenge HBCU Merch Collection Sweepstakes, with 100 winners set to take home exclusive apparel designed around HBCU pride and Pepsi’s cultural history.

Here’s the catch: it’s not an instant win game. Instead, you earn one shot per day by scanning the iconic Pepsi Globe with your camera. More scans = more entries = better odds. The sweepstakes ends August 31, 2025, with winners drawn September 10, 2025.


Prize Breakdown

The prize pool is straightforward but exciting:

  • 100 winners will each receive a Pepsi® Challenge HBCU Merch Collection prize.
  • Winners will be contacted directly to provide their preferred clothing sizes before items ship.
  • Each prize is unique, limited, and collectible, tying Pepsi’s branding to HBCU heritage in an exclusive capsule drop.

While there’s no published retail value, this is limited-edition streetwear, which usually translates into high-demand pieces you won’t find in stores.


What You Can Do With the Prize If You Win

Winning this sweepstakes means you’re holding a piece of culture—not just merch. Imagine:

  • Campus Flex: Rock your HBCU pride hoodie to football games or homecoming, instantly standing out.
  • Streetwear Statement: Pair your prize with sneakers and denim for an everyday look that screams exclusivity.
  • Collector’s Item: If you’re into fashion drops, you know limited merch becomes even more valuable over time. This is gear you can stash or showcase.
  • Perfect Gift: Got a friend or family member at an HBCU? Passing it along makes you the ultimate plug.
  • Content Creator Gold: An unboxing video of exclusive Pepsi x HBCU merch? That’s guaranteed engagement for your socials.

Bottom line: this isn’t generic swag—it’s capsule-collection level merch with cultural weight.
