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.

Overview:
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.

Competition Rules:
Any individual can participate, but teams are limited to (2) people.
Individuals and teams are allowed to collaborate if they wish, but presentations must be made, and will be judged separately.
Teams/Individuals will have 10 minutes to present their campaign, with 5 minutes for questions following the presentation.
The winners will be chosen at the sole discretion of the board of judges (members of Lamar corporate marketing department). and all decisions are final.

Prizes:
The winning team members/individual will receive their choice of either an iPad (Generation 3), or a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet.
All participating members will have permission to use Lamar Advertising Company on their resume, and any work they produced in their portfolios. Lamar will provide a description of the job for resume use.

Email me with your name(s) if you’d like to participate and I will send your contact information to Chris. He’ll contact you when the first consultation is set up! This is a great opportunity to participate in a national campaign!
