Win a 3 year School of Advertising Bursary

AAA School of Advertising (the name must be a legacy yellow-pages hack) and Springleap just sent me details of a competition for aspiring designers and marketers at high schools across the country. Design a T-Shirt, market it to get votes, most votes wins. The prize: a 3 year bursary to learn everything the AAA School of Ads can teach you, which is hopefully a hell of a lot. That’s a damn good prize, kids.

I’ll let the, uhm, video, explain a bit more. You may want to turn your speakers down a bit – clearly the caffeine has been flowing thick and fast at Springleap HQ… 🙂

More details can be found here: Teen T-shirt competition.

So once you’ve got a design, then what? Here’s a few ideas once voting starts:

  • SMS/MMS your buddies about the design/competition.
  • Facebook your friends – work it – start a group for your t-shirt design – pimp your facebook status out to the mercy of your friends’ votes.
  • Mxit up and start the discussion on the design.
  • I hate to say it, but get your school involved – the lower classes can’t enter the competition, but a vote is a vote…
  • Go old school – contact your local newspaper and let them know – you’d be surprised at the results.
  • Stand on a street corner and sell your body for votes.

I think you get the idea.

Oh, and there’s something there about Drug Education too. Yes, teenagers, you should always know the difference, between kat, tik, and cocaine. 😉

UCT RAG Helps You Launch Your Band

The guys at UCT RAG have an awesome competition going for all up and coming bands. Basically it’s a battle of the bands with a stack of great prizes, including:

A gig at Assembly,
a slot at Rocking the Daisies,
a playing contract,
a voucher from Marshall Music,
a professional photoshoot and more.

Even better, all the proceeds obtained from the project will be donated towards the UCT RAG beneficiary SHAWCO which runs education and health programmes in the underprivilaged areas of the Western Cape.

Entries close 13 April 2009, so get your entries in ASAP. Just drop a mail to launchyourband [at] gmail.com.
Hell, maybe its time for me to dust off the old six-string and rustle up some bad-ass ninjas to enter this competition with me.
I look forward to seeing and hearing the results of this series of gigs.
