Teams: tune in Friday, January 25 at 9am MST for the Facebook Live stream of The Brief with the client at Underdogs Rescue. This is your opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the company.

The Brief is a student design competition where students have 121 hours to create the best possible campaign for a Colorado non-profit, Underdogs Rescue.

The Brief drops via Facebook Live and students will have one week to build a client ready presentation. Each team is assigned a senior creative mentor for guidance and support. The top three ideas/presentations will be selected and given the opportunity to present in front of the client.

The top team will be awarded $1000 ($250 per person for team of 4) and have the chance to get their work produced.
