MTS & Coca-Cola Laptop Scholarship

Would a new laptop help set-you up for success at school? We thought so! MTS, Coca-Cola and the San Diego County Office of Education will be giving away 40 laptops this spring! Students enrolled in a San Diego County High School (in grades 9-12) are eligible to apply for the 2017 Laptop Scholarship Contest.

The 2017 Laptop Scholarship Contest will be an advertising contest! Here's how it works:

  1. Brainstorm an advertising campaign to promote MTS to potential bus and/or Trolley riders.
  2. Write a one to two-page summary identifying your target audience, message strategy and design inspiration
  3. Create an original poster ad design (must be 8.5 x 11). Hand-drawn and digital submissions will be accepted. 
  4. Complete the application form and submit with the summary and art by the deadline.
  5. Entries will be scored on the following criteria: Creativity (ad reflects clever slogan, design, etc.) Strategy (The ad strategy is well thought-out and clearly identifies a target audience, messaging strategies, research to support strategy, etc.) Clarity (The ad is visually appealing, easy to understand and effective in communication to the target audience.)

Bonus: One lucky student will have their artwork displayed on an MTS bus shelter!

All entries are due by April 14, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. PST. Entries can be mailed to scholarship@sdmts.com or mailed to MTS, Attn: Laptop Scholarship, 1255 Imperial Avenue, Suite 1000, San Diego CA 92101. All mailed entries must be postmarked by April 14.
