It’s time for our annual National Buy Your Yearbook Day contests! We’re excited to share the four categories and how to enter the contests.
CONTEST 1: “Market your theme”
You work all year developing your theme for the book, but how do you share it with the school? Show us how you showcase your theme via advertising, T-shirts, marketing materials and other creative promotions.
CONTEST 2: “Show us your support”
We know creating a yearbook takes a village, so show us your support system! Send a photo of your adviser, principal or another individual in your school who goes above and beyond to help with the yearbook.
CONTEST 3: “Lights, camera, action!”
Create a video to promote your yearbook, and post it on your school’s website or social media page. Keep your video short & sweet (and extra points if you make us laugh)!
CONTEST 4: “Outside the box”
Creativity wins this prize. Send us your most unconventional marketing technique. It doesn’t have to be elaborate or expensive; imagination’s what this one’s all about! Live events, sidewalk chalk, unconventional signage, even costumes are fair game. The only limit is your imagination!
How to Enter
You can submit entries two ways:
1) Enter via social media: Post your submission on Facebook or Twitter using the hashtags #GottaGetAYearbook and #NBYYD along with your school name and the category name. For Twitter, make sure to tag us @BalfourYB. For Facebook, please post on our Balfour Yearbooks page.
2) Enter via email: Entries can be submitted to our email address BuyTheYearbook@balfour.com. Include your school name, category and any additional information in the email. You’ll have all day Wednesday (and only Wednesday) to submit entries.
All winners will be announced Friday, Oct. 25. The Balfour’s Marketing Team will select winners who will receive $100 Visa gift cards. We’ll have two winners in each category so eight lucky schools will win.
Good luck and happy NBBYD!
