District 3 Competition: April 20-21, 2023
The American Advertising Federation District 3 is excited to announce that the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) will be held Thursday, April 20, and Friday, April 21, at The Highlander in Radford, Virginia. Rehearsals are scheduled to run from 5 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, and the competition will run all day Friday beginning at 8 a.m.
We are returning to the pre-pandemic format, which allows the NSAC competition to be held concurrently with the AAF District 3 Spring Meeting. We will ask that the winning team present to the AAF District 3 Executive Committee the morning of Saturday, April 22.
The National Student Advertising Competition is the premier college advertising competition that provides more than 2,000 college students the real-world experience of creating a strategic advertising/marketing/media campaign for a corporate client. Students develop a marketing plan and then pitch their work to advertising professionals at the district, semi-final and national levels.
