Chaminade University and Hawaii Pacific University Prep for the annual National Student Advertising Competition.


On April 25, the schools' presentations will do battle at Servco Auto Honolulu in Mapunapuna in order to represent Hawaii at the American Advertising Federation's annual national conference June 4 and 5 in Washington, D.C.

The winning Hawaii team automatically goes on to the nationals, while other states have multiple AAF chapters, meaning those teams have to compete at regional and district levels to see who gets to go to nationals.

There will be 16 teams at the national competition, one from each AAF district and a wild-card team. This year, students have been tasked with creating a message to fight binge drinking among young adults.

The sponsor is the Century Council, a nonprofit organization funded by distillers that seeks to combat drunk driving and underage drinking.

There are 15 students on the Chaminade team, 28 for HPU. From the winning team, five students and an adviser will be flown, expenses paid, to Washington D.C.
