Professionals and students can submit a variety of work in the eight available categories: Sales & Marketing, Print Advertising, Out-Of-Home & Ambient Media, Online/Interactive, Film, Video & Sound, Cross Platform, Elements of Advertising, and Public Service. This includes newspaper and magazine advertising, billboards, websites, social media, radio and television advertising, posters, logo design and more.

Physical entries must be submitted on Jan. 31 between 11 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. at the Ball State University Alumni Center, Conference Room 1.
