Washington, D.C.-based United Fresh Produce Association is hosting this year's BrandStorm virtually on March 9-11. 

Among the virtual event's activities is a Zoom background contest.

"We all know the power of branding in this digital age. All entries can brand their background design with their company logo in the lower right corner – an invaluable opportunity," United Fresh said on its website. 

The winner will receive a BrandStorm 2021 event registration. The competition's deadline is Feb. 12. All designs should be submitted to Bethany Geris, digital marketing manager for United Fresh, at bgeris@unitedfresh.org, and must include the entrant's name, title, company, e-mail address and phone number. 

Here is a list of the contest requirements: 

  • 1920×1080 pixels
  • Final files must be received as high-resolution .jpg files created in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop or InDesign.
  • Must include the Brandstorm logo OR “United Fresh BrandStorm” in typography somewhere in the design

The winning entry will be displayed in promotions leading up to the event, according to United Fresh, and will also be provided to staff, speakers and attendees as the official event background.

United Fresh is also hosting a free BrandStorm preview on Feb. 24. Click here to read more.
