School of Management and Communication (SMC)

Are you an aspiring content creator? Do you dream of working with big brands? The Media Challenge 2024 can be the stepping stone for your journey in the digital media industry.

The Media Challenge is an event organised by Republic Polytechnic, School of Management and Communication’s Diploma in Mass Communication (DMC) to give media-savvy secondary school students a taste of their dream career in the digital media industry.

The 2024 edition of The Media Challenge will be held at RP’s campus on 11 and 12 March 2024. We are proud to have Golin Singapore and McDonald’s as our event partners.

Working in teams, participants will pit their creativity, content creation skills, and determination against one another to create their own integrated content package to win attractive prizes! Participants can also pick up valuable tips and insights from leading media industry practitioners, who will assess the quality of their content packages. 

In the process, participants will get to:

• Take part in hands-on workshops and gain tips from media industry practitioners as well as DMC lecturers 
• Be assessed on their ability to create digital content, as well as their creativity and planning skills within a given time frame, making this a meaningful and enriching experience
• Pitch their media packages to a panel of judges comprising industry experts and DMC lecturers
• Stand a chance to win up to $1,000 worth of prizes

Our experienced lecturers (and industry partners) will share their knowledge and skills with participants on how to:

• Conceptualise and produce engaging digital media content – including articles, photo stories, and short videos
• Successfully pitch their media package to a panel of judges
• Effectively promote their content across various digital and social media platforms
