Brought to you from your @GoogleStudents friends. From pre-university to PhD (and beyond), we got you.
The results are in for the 2017 Google Online Marketing Challenge!
August 15, 2017
More than 600 professors and 12,000 students from over 65 countries competed in the 2017
Google Online Marketing Challenge (GOMC)
...and the results are in!
This year we introduced a new AdWords Certification award and algorithm evaluating performance across more campaign types, delivering some of the most impressive work seen in the history of GOMC. Check out our AdWords Business, AdWords Certification, and Social Impact Winners below, and reference our
GOMC Past Challenges page
for a full list of the 2017 Team Results.
Congratulations to the winners and a big round of applause for all teams that participated! Thanks to all of the support from professors and the thousands of students who have helped businesses and nonprofits in their communities, we have had much to celebrate together. Over the past 10 years, more than 120,000 students and professors across almost 100 countries have participated in the Google Online Marketing Challenge, helping more than 15,000 businesses and nonprofits grow online.
Though we are taking a step back from the Google Online Marketing Challenge as we know it and exploring new opportunities to support practical skill development for students, we are continuing to provide
free digital skills trainings
and encourage academics to keep fostering a learning environment that connects the classroom with industry. For resources that will help you carry on project work like GOMC, a place for sharing feedback to help us continue to provide useful student development programs and a way to stay updated on our latest offerings, visit our
