We asked Lawrence kids how they would attract business if they were advertisers for a pizza shop, a furniture store, or even a theater, and these are the ads they created!
Over 800 Lawrence elementary and Jr. High students recently agreed to participate in our advertising contest, K-Youth.
K-Youth was a program developed in order to teach the kids of our community about Advertising. Approximately 10 Elementary classes and two Jr. High classes entered the contest this year. Each class was assigned a Lawrence business to create ads for, and the most imaginative ad was chosen for publication.
After presenting the classes with instructions about their
clients business, how to create an ad, and what pertinent information to include. The artistic side was up to each individual student. The students had from three to five days to design their ad in the best way they could. This gave each child a fair time span to work under. The ads were then picked up,and taken to the businesses for a final selection.
Although many of the Ads were outstanding, we would like to congratulate our winners! Many of the students even expressed that they would like to go into "Newspaper" when they grow up. This contest gave the students of Lawrence a chance to learn about advertising, be creative, and really shine!
Special thanks to the following Lawrence schools for all your hard
work:
