The National Student Advertising Competition is AAF’s premier collegiate contest. Student teams answer a real client brief and pitch a full campaign — research, strategy, creative and media — to a panel of industry judges.

District 10’s competition runs Wednesday 31 March through Friday 2 April 2027 at the Marriott Dallas Allen Hotel & Convention Center in Allen, Texas, and closes Friday evening. The winning team advances to the AAF National Conference to compete for the national title.

NSAC shares the hotel with ADvent10n 2027, the district’s professional conference, which opens Thursday evening and continues through Saturday. Students and faculty are welcome to stay on for Saturday’s professional programming — ADvent10n is a separate registration with an additional fee. Rates will be posted with conference registration.
