• Registration will be accepted from teachers only, for the entire class (min. 20 students). Registration and entries cannot be accepted from individual students for this contest.

• Teachers may register their classes to participate in the contest by completing the Design-An-Ad Registration form in this brochure and returning it to the Standard-Examiner. The contest is limited to 30 classes. A class will be matched to a business by a random drawing from the completed registration forms. Deadline to register is Friday, January 23, 2015.

• Teachers whose classes are drawn will receive a packet containing entry forms, advertiser guidelines, and instructions to help students design the ads.

• Classes will be assigned to design ads for a local business that has purchased space in the NIE Design-An-Ad section. Students in the class will design an original ad for their assigned business. Teachers will then submit all of the student designed ads to the Standard-Examiner. Then the ads will be given to the business assigned to the class. They will select their favorite ad from the class entries. The ad chosen by the business will be published in the NIE Design-An-Ad section Monday, March 2, 2015.
