It is mid-December, time to think about Santa, mistletoe, bowl games and the 2026 Celebrity Death Watch Pool. 

Start paying attention to who is still around, and is a celebrity (someone with a wiki page is a good indicator, but there are other indicators) 
1) Points are awarded based 100 points minus the celebrity age at death (aka there is no point in picking Dick Van Dyke because at age 100 he is worth 0 points) AND please note that points are rarely, if ever, tallied. 
2) You must have at least 1 person under 40 on your list to qualify for the grand prize (though never previously awarded - if you win there are a host of prizes, including 2 Best Buy coupons, 100,000 internet points, and official recognition at one of the Surly tailgates in a future year.

Contest entries must be posted before midnight 12/31/2025; if you pick early, and someone dies before that date, then you get to make a replacement pick (no later that 1/6/2026)

here are my picks from a couple of years ago - just as an example (note these are not my picks for 2026 as at least 1 of them is already dead

1. OJ Simpson - 76

Good luck (or bad luck, depending on how you look at it) - I rarely get any right, but you never know. 
One final suggestion don't put your wife or mother-in law on the list because a) they aren't really a celebrity and b) the owners of this site do not want to have to testify in court at your trial. 

Get in early .. I always say ...
