Effie Collegiate

Each year, student teams compete to provide a solution to a marketing challenge presented by established organizations – their “clients”. 

The 2020 competition will mark Ten Years of Effie Collegiate! Since the inaugural challenge in 2009, the competition has featured challenges from Subaru, IBM, V8, Pace, Kleenex, Target, U by Kotex, MINI, and HEINEKEN.

We're celebrating by taking a look back at our challenges from 2009 to now #EffieCollegiate10
 

The 2020 Collegiate Competition is open to students who are currently enrolled full/part-time at accredited educational institutions, including undergraduate/graduate students, and those enrolled in portfolio programs and online courses. Entries may be submitted by teams of two to four individuals.

Entries will be judged by industry professionals with a diverse set experiences across client, agency, and media companies. 

Stay tuned for more information on the 2020 competition, to be announced shortly.
