Our organization is passionate about promoting social causes. We ​​want to increase awareness about a particular topic.

We would like to work with students to design an awareness contest where contestants promote our cause and win rewards along the way.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

• Familiarizing themselves with our organization’s goals and campaigns.
• Designing the contest structure and assessment criteria.
• Creating materials to promote the contest.
• Running the contest online and collecting submissions.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

• Assisting in assessing submissions and selecting winners.
• Recommending ideas for future awareness campaigns.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Familiarity with our goals and campaigns
• Design of an awareness contest
• Creation of promotional materials
• Collection of contest submissions

Bonus steps would include:

• Assessing submissions and selecting winners
• Recommending ideas for future events

Final deliverables should include

• A 10-minute presentation.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Our organization’s mission and goals
• Our awareness campaigns
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.

In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:

• Event planning
• Awareness campaigns / contests

Again, students can complete this project without any of the prior knowledge listed here. Students will be expected to research and learn more about the above as the project goes along.

We can provide students with:

• A walkthrough / tutorial of our campaigns, mission and goals
