Join the Google Online Marketing Challenge!

Date: January 24th. 2008

Google's first-ever global academic competition, the Google Online Marketing Challenge, begins next month!

This is your opportunity to take part in a compelling learning experience and maybe win a week's holiday at a five star hotel in San Francisco. Part of the holiday includes a day at the nearby Googleplex, to meet the team behind AdWords.

Here's how the Challenge works: Your will receive US$ 200 in Google ads to drive traffic to a business website of their choosing. Students will compete with groups from their institution along with student teams from all over the world.
 

This is not a simulation; students gain real-world experience with a real client. You have a great student project; clients gain free advertising and Internet consulting. Google provides US $200 in vouchers, teaching materials and other resources.

The Challenge is open to undergraduate and graduate students anywhere in the world. You will find details at http://www.google.com/onlinechallenge/
