The Marketing Competition categories are:
Best Promotional Item/Giveaway: This includes apparel items (i.g. t shirts, hats, sweatshirts, hats) and giveaway items (i.g. Pens, cups, water bottles, keychains, etc). Participants can submit up to two entries for this category (one entry for apparel and the other for a giveaway item).
Best Video/Animation: This is for a video, tik tok, instagram reel, series, short film, etc created by students to promote an event or student activity (recruitment, behind the scenes, etc). Please try to limit video length to 3 minutes. Note: If you are having issues with the video submission because it is too large, please contact Wayne Kreis directly!
Best Event Poster/Flyer: This is a poster designed by a student for an event. Poster may be color or black & white.
Best Not-So Poster: Submit a picture of a promotional material, not including an event poster, designed by a student for a specific event to promote it. This includes a calendar, brochure, punch card, invitation, banner, etc.
Best Cultural Event Marketing: Submit any marketing materials used to promote an identity-specific initiative or event.
Most Unique Marketing Material: Similar to the Not-So Poster category, this award highlights the most unique marketing strategy from our campuses. This could be golf balls, poker chips, punch cards, etc. The winner will have a distinctive piece of marketing and will stand out as special.
People’s Choice: This category does NOT require an individual submission. ALL submissions to the marketing competition will be eligible for People’s Choice. This award aims to highlight a favorite submission regardless of which category it falls under.
Each member institution is allowed to submit once for each category.
