Day-of-Competition

Registration deadline: Feb. 22.
Registration is free.

The Day-of-Competition provides you the opportunity to practice your public relations skills in a fun, competitive environment as you prepare a campaign plan for this year’s client and sponsor, The CW Network. You’ll gain experience, build your portfolio and network with public relations students from around the country. It is an Assembly tradition you won’t want to miss.

To participate, you will need to be in Austin and ready to compete at 3:45 p.m., Thursday, March 11. If you arrive later than 3:45 p.m., you may not be able to participate regardless of whether you have registered. You will be assigned to a team on site.

Once the client has presented the case study, teams will have one hour to research and plan a campaign, which they will then present to the client. You may bring supplies, such as laptops or poster board, to assist your team in presenting your communications plan to the judges.

The competition concludes at 6:00 p.m. and the winners will be announced at that evening’s Welcome Reception. Each member of the winning team receives a plaque and $50.
