CROPPED: Is your design on the cropping block?

The last year and a half has been crazy, right? We think so too. So why not get back into the swing of things with one of AMA Lincoln’s favorite events, CROPPED! 

If you aren’t familiar, here’s the breakdown: 

• Designers attempt to create their best design based on our mystery materials. 
• In each round, the top designers will advance. Those in the bottom will be CROPPED. 
• Round 3 will consist of creating a design to benefit a local small business.
• The winning designer earns bragging rights, high fives, oh, and $1,000 CASH PRIZE! 

In short, FIVE DESIGNERS, THREE ROUNDS, ONE CHAMPION.

Who do we want to compete? You, of course! If you’re a local marketer, graphic designer, creative agency, corporate organization, freelancer, small business, or passionate doodler, we encourage you to submit your designs for consideration.

COVID-19 has caused a lot of shifts, so we decided to follow the trend. For this year’s competition we have decided to dedicate our winning designs to help support a local small business this year. The local small business in question? AMA Lincoln has chosen JuJu’s Vegan Cajun and Creole Cuisine (yum)! You’ll get a taste, they are providing our hor d’oeuvres (double yum)! 

Let’s bring together current and future AMA members and like-minded marketing professionals in a casual, fun, and engaging atmosphere. In our careers, we have seen it all; good, bad, hilarious, mildly disturbing. Grow your network with some friendly competition, and help out a local small business in the process.

Snag your ticket by 8 pm on November 5th. We only have 70 tickets available, so act fast! 

Ticket includes event entry, hor d’oeuvres, comic relief, and one craft cocktail drink ticket.
