RoadNinja Fall Student Competition – Win a tablet!

Objective:
The objective of this competition is to create a campaign that will catch the consumer’s eye, inform them, and have them know what to do with the message. In short, Lamar wants users to see RoadNinja’s message, love the branding, download the app and use it. Gone are the days of awareness – Lamar wants action.

This competition is open to all advertising/ graphic design students who are interested. The duration of the competition is one month. There will be an initial consultation with Chris Landry to mark the beginning of the competition, and the competition will close with the students pitching their ideas to the marketing department at Lamar Advertising HQ. At the initial consultation, Chris Landry will present RoadNinja to all participating students and field any questions or concerns. The final presentations will take place in the Lamar media room, where all A/V equipment will be provided. Students will be allowed to come in the afternoon before presentations to check A/V formatting.

Individuals and teams are allowed to collaborate if they wish, but presentations must be made, and will be judged separately.
