A live 2010 student advertisement design contest among open universities was held in Tianjin by the Open University of China (OUC) between November 1-2, 2010. The first, second and third prizes were judged after heated competition and awards were presented on the site.
The 2010 Open University Student Advertisement Design Contest was officially launched in March 2010 by the OUC. The contest received responses from open universities all over the country with many students participating. 35 provincial open universities together with the OUC Experimental School and the OUC School for the Disabled recommended 644 entries,
including 170 advertisements on "the Open University Image" and 474 public service advertisements on "Healthy Life—Concern for Food Safety".
The organizing committee of the contest opened a website, exhibiting the works recommended by provincial open universities. The site received 311,443 visits, 171,223 votes and 390 comments. At the suggestion of the expert evaluation committee, the organizing committee of the contest invited the creators and tutors of 12 entry works to attend the final competition.
The final competition was divided into two sections. One section is called "passionate improvisation in 24 hours" with the other an "on-the-spot presentation and answering questions raised by the evaluation committee". The wonderful performance of the students in the contest and the originality of the advertising works were recognized by the evaluation committee. OUC Vice President Yan Bing said there was a long tradition of the open universities organizing student contests. In recent years, the OUC has organized a series of student contests, and new efforts have been made in planning, content and organization of these activities. These contests have played a very important role in promoting the teaching reform, student work, cultural construction and other aspects in the open universities’ campus life.
