NSAC is the premier student advertising competition in the country with over 150 schools participating.

If successful at districts students advance to nationals where they receive an expense paid trip to compete against district finalists at the American Advertising Federation's convention in Boca Raton, Florida this May. The competition provides great networking opportunities and many participants have moved on to top jobs in the industry.
