Question about the 2010 Google Online Marketing Challenge

Dear Tae Hyun Moon,

Thanks for your email and interest in the 2010 Challenge, which starts in late Janaury 2010.

Registration is by professors and pre-registration should come from a professor's email address. Google should email everyone pre-registered in a few weeks, but one of the first steps will be to prove that you are a lecturer, professor or something similar with a higher education institution.

Please wait a couple weeks if you are a lecturer. If not, please try to convince a lecturer at SUNY Buffalo to register for the Challenge. You can find more information about registration and the Challenge at the professor and student FAQs, respectively

Hope the above helps and have a great day,
Cheers, Jamie

Thank you for the reply, Mr. Murphy.

My team has one advisory professor from my university(SUNY Buffalo) for the challenge, and I have asked him to submit his email address to get further information on it. Both the professor and I submitted our email address through this website, http://services.google.com/events/marketing_challenge_2009_reg, to receive the updated info on the 2010 challenge, but I am not sure if it is the right place for that.

If there is a certain website where the professor needs to visit and register for the challenge, please let me know.

I really appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Hello again,

Your professor and you used the correct web page for pre-registering. Please wait another few weeks for Google to respond.

If interested, your professor can email me for a free US$ 50 voucher to test drive Google AdWords.

Cheers, Jamie

Hello Mr. Murphy.

Would you please give me your email address so that I can give it to my professor?

I am looking forward to your reply.

Thank you.

Dear Mr. Jamie Murphy,

Thank you for your quick reply. My professor and I have a question regarding the competition. According to the academic guide for the Google Challenge, 2009, the advisory professor needs to manage a class or a student club and divide the students into several teams with three to six members. My members and I all belong to a student, business organization, Pi Sigma Epsilon, officially registered at our school. Our organization is further headed by a national body based in Milwaukee. The only concern that my team, my professor, and I have is if we are able to compete in the competition. Our organization as a whole does not wish it take place in the competition, only our group of six people.

From what I seem to understand from the student competition guide is that any team can participate in the challenge, as long as it is representing its University. So, I was wondering if only one team from my organization can participate in the challenge with the advisory professor's help.

I am looking forward to hearing back from you again. Thank you in advance.


Sincerely,

Tae Hyun Moon

Hi Tae,

Yes, your team may participate under your professor's supervision.
Good luck and best wishes to TEAM PI SIGMA EPSILON.

Please note that the current academic and student guides, as well as the textbook will change slightly for next year. The new versions should be online this year.

Cheers, Jamie

Dear Mr. Jamie Murphy,

Hello Mr. Murphy. How are you? Thank you for your reply.

I heard from my professor that he emailed you last week and got some information regarding the Google Challenge.

He was wondering if he can receive $50 of voucher for the challenge that you mentioned to me before.

My professor's name is Alan Dick, and he is from University at Buffalo.
So, if you do not mind, would you please send the voucher to his email address, which is mgtdick@buffalo.edu?

I sincerely appreciate your help.

Tae Hyun Moon

Dear Tae Hyun Moon:

For record keeping purposed, I will need a formal request from Alan Dick in order to send him the voucher. A post from a student on GOMCHA will not suffice.

Cheers, Jamie

Hello to you :)

I am working at the Physics Department at UAM in Poznan :)
I am preparing 3 to 4 groups of students of Applied Computing for the GOMC 2010 :)
I already registered myself.

I have seen that dear Jamie that you've written "a free US$ 50 voucher to test drive Google AdWords" is it possible to all groups to apply for the voucher ?

If so it means we will be able to get our AdWords accounts registration quite early ?:)

Best regards :)

Wojtek

Dear Wojtek:

Thanks for registering in the 2010 Challenge. The vouchers are available only for professors and professors must send a formal request to jmurphy@biz.uwa.edu.au.

And please note that a Polish team won the Europe/Middle East/Africa division of the 2009 Challenge. Maybe Poznan will win this year.

Cheers, Jamie
