These mock ads can be funny, weird, or stylized but MUST reference and explain at least two of the services offered by the Library.

Advertisements can take the form of a print spread, video entry, radio spot, photographs, performance art, or other creative medium. Entries must be written and produced by CURRENTLY ENROLLED Columbia College Chicago students. Submit your entry no later than February 1st, 5pm CST, to: http://goo.gl/forms/9OBgR1GXQm

• Be submitted no later than February 1st, 5pm CST.

The winner will be notified by February 5th and will receive a $250 gift card, redeemable at the Columbia College Chicago Bookstore. The winner will be chosen by Library staff based on originality, applicability, humor, accuracy, and merit of collaboration (if applicable). Collaborative projects are welcome, however, each team must have one leader who will receive the prize in its entirety if awarded and may share it with their team.

The winning entry will be posted on the Library’s website and affiliated social media accounts but will always be credited to the student. The Library reserves the right to edit the winning entry.
