Judge Overview

 

COLLEGIATE JUDGING

 
Modeled after the Effie Awards United States competition, the Effie Collegiate gives students real-world marketing experience. The competition provides an opportunity for students to research, ideate and execute comprehensive marketing plans that address professional-level marketing challenges.  This year's competition is presented in partnership with Bose. 
 
Judges play a critical role in determining the finalists in this year's Effie Collegiate Bose Brand Challenge.  Round One Judging is the first level of review for submissions.  Each entry must be reviewed by at least five judges during this stage.  The jury is comprised of senior level executives across advertisers and agencies, representing a range of disciplines.  Judging provides an opportunity to give back to the future leaders of the industry.
 
The cases that advance as finalists will be reviewed by the Bose Brand team.
 

Judging Process

Effie Collegiate Judges have the opportunity to participate in virtual group sessions, where judges will review cases as a group and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the submissions.  Alternatively, judges may participate independently and remotely, by scoring cases on an individual basis online via Effie Collegiate's Judging Portal.
 
For each case, judges will provide numerical scores, insights on strengths and weaknesses, and flags to help the Effie Collegiate Committee understand the entry and your scores.  This feedback will be provided to the students to aid in the development of the next generation of marketers.
