Make the ad. Get seen. Get credit.
No agency. No brief written by a marketing team that's never done your laundry. Just you, your campus, and whatever format makes people actually stop scrolling.
Laundry apps don't usually have good ads.
We want to fix that, campus by campus — and we can't do it alone.
Make an ad for UniHamper. Any format. Post it, submit it here, and let other students weigh in. The strongest ones get used as real UniHamper marketing, with your name on them.
Your work, on a real product, with your name attached.
No spec-ad graveyard. Winning entries actually run.
Your work, actually used
Winning ads run on UniHamper's official Instagram and TikTok and on campus channels — credited to you, not repurposed anonymously.
Portfolio material
"This ran as real marketing for a live company" is a stronger line than another spec-ad mockup — whether you're heading into design, marketing, or content.
Ambassador commission boost
Already a Campus Ambassador? A winning submission bumps your commission rate. Not one yet? A strong ad is a good way to get invited in.
Real feedback, not a black box
Every submission gets community comments and a note from our team. You'll know what landed and what didn't — even if you don't win.
There's no cash prize. This is about getting your work in front of people, on a real product, with your name attached — not a giveaway.
Any student. Any campus. Any major.
No experience required
You don't need a design portfolio or a marketing background. You need to know what would make someone at your school actually pay attention.
Enter as many times as you like
Multiple submissions are accepted. Reworks and resubmissions are welcome if the feedback gives you something to build on.
You don't have to post it publicly
Rather not put it on your own account first? Upload it to Google Drive and share it with us instead — same entry, same shot at running.
Whatever fits your campus and your skills.
Pick the format you're actually good at — we're judging the idea, not the render.
- 01Instagram Reel or TikTok
- 02Static graphic or poster
- 03Meme
- 04Short video, under 60 seconds
- 05Flyer designed for physical posting — dorms, laundry rooms, bulletin boards
Got a format that isn't on this list and you think it works? Ask us — we're not precious about the list.
Six steps, start to finish.
From "I have an idea" to "that's my ad on their account."
Post it publicly
On your own account, tagged #UniHamperChallenge. Or, if you'd rather not post it yourself first, upload it to Google Drive and share it to universityhamper@gmail.com.
Submit it here
Send us the link or the file using the form below so it's officially entered. Nothing counts until it's submitted.
Review window — 4 weeks
Your ad gets four weeks of review from the day you submit it, so entering early means more eyes on it. Other students can view, comment, and react. If you're reviewing someone else's work, leave actual feedback rather than just a reaction — that's part of what makes this useful to everyone, including you.
Judging
Community engagement counts, but it isn't the whole decision. Our team picks the final winners per campus, weighing creativity, clarity, and whether it would actually work on your campus over pure vote count.
Results
Winners announced per campus, plus a small number featured across every campus we're on. Entries close December 31, 2026.
Keep this part boring so the fun part doesn't get shut down.
Five rules. None of them are about your creative choices.
No fake claims
Don't invent pricing, guarantees, or features UniHamper doesn't have. Not sure what's accurate? Ask before you post — we'd rather answer than take something down.
No impersonation
Don't present yourself as a laundromat, a partner, or UniHamper staff.
Keep it campus-appropriate
Funny and irreverent is welcome. Anything that would get flagged by your own school's code of conduct won't be used.
You keep authorship. We get a licence
By submitting, you give UniHamper the right to repost, edit lightly — cropping, captions, adding a logo — and run your ad on official channels, with credit to you. You're not signing away ownership, and you can still post it anywhere else you want.
One campus, one voice at a time
If several students from the same school submit near-identical concepts, we'll reach out to sort out credit before anything goes live.
Send it in.
Open from August 15 to December 31, 2026. This form is what makes it an official entry — it lands in our inbox and we reply to a real address.
Before you hit send, make sure you've got:
- →Your name and school at the end of your video or on the graphic itself.
- →A link to your posted ad, or the file shared to universityhamper@gmail.com.
- →One line on the idea — what you were going for, and why you think it lands with your campus.
Prefer email? Send it to universityhamper@gmail.com — but the form is what officially enters you.
Still thinking about the idea?
Make it anyway. The worst outcome is honest feedback from people who run this thing for a living.
Questions before you submit? Comment on the launch post, DM us, or use the contact form — we're happy to look at a rough cut and give you a read on it early.
