Vote for the Tri-State’s Best Dad Bod

Dad bod photos have been submitted. Now it is time for you to vote for the best dad bod in the Tri-State.

Father's Day is coming up on Sunday, June 15th. In honor of all the dads out here in the Tri-State, we want to honor Dad and his bod. As a dad, I am proud to say that I rock the dad bod. It's 2025, dad bods are the look. It's not a specific body type, but rather a term that describes a body that is not overly muscular but may have a "beer belly" or "spare tire". Or, if your dad bod is like mine, you might look like a man sitting on a chicken. Whatever kind of dad bod you have, own it, be proud of it, and show it off!

The WKDQ Dad Bod Photo Contest

We want to see the Tri-State's dad bods with a new photo contest. So, have the dad in your life put on those jorts and New Balance shoes, and strike a pose that really shows off those dad bods. We asked for photo submissions, and the deadline to enter was June 2nd. We've gathered the best, and now it's your turn to pick the winner.

Voting is now open to the public. Your votes will determine which Tri-State dad bod will be crowned the 3rd Runner-Up, 2nd Runner-Up, and 1st Runner-Up. And then on Friday, June 13th, 2025, we'll see who struts their stuff to the top to be crowned the Tri-State's best dad bod. Oh, and did I mention that there will be some pretty awesome prizes too?
