Guest Presentation: Underdog - Creative Competitions
An introduction to the Underdog Community. We create competitions that allow students to get a chance to work on real projects and get experience in the field, while they are still undergoing their studies.
How does it work?
Underdog advertises different challenges of length and difficulty but mostly with a quick turnaround. The most common challenge is built around marketing campaigns where all successful entries are rewarded with £80. The students will be offered the chance to meet the client before they submit to understand the briefing. Top 5 receive consistent feedback and pitch their idea.
There are other two types of challenges advertised:
- Freelance – where the client agrees to hire the student after their submission
- Gain insights – where students are given the opportunity to work on a project and are recognised at the end with a prize/certificate.
Underdog also runs the Underdog Club where members are offered exclusive opportunities and extensive feedback on their work.
Currently running for MDX students is the Anjunabeats: Logo Competition (https://thepack.underdog.community/c/anjunabeats-logo-competition)
In this competition, you will be asked to design a logo for Anjunabeats, a well-respected electronic music company. All successful applicants also receive monetary prizes as well as promotion on the company’s Instagram with 208 000 followers.
There is also a new, exciting competition being announced - come and join to find out more!
