Applications are ongoing for the 2015 Google Online Marketing Challenge for Students. The Google Online Marketing Challenge (GOMC) is an exciting opportunity for students to experience online marketing and creating online marketing campaigns using Google AdWords & Google+ . 

As well, students and their professors can win great prizes. This is a great opportunity for students in classes such as advertising, e-commerce, integrated marketing communication, management information systems, marketing or new media technologies. Every year more than 50,000 students compete from more than 100 countries.

The goal for students is to gain practical knowledge of creating effective online marketing campaign in Google AdWords.

How it works
Google will provide a US$250 budget for participating students to develop an online advertising strategy for a real business or non-profit organization that has not used AdWords in the last six months. The competition is open to all students, regardless of major, with teams ranging in size from three to six. 

All students must register under a verified professor/instructor at a higher education institution. The global winners and their professor receive a trip to the Google Headquarters in Mountain View, California to meet with the AdWords team. Regional winners and their professor receive a trip to a regional Google office.

Application Deadline
Professor registration: 8 April 2015
