DECA competition sponsored by Adobe. Design and market a food truck in Adobe Express.

Eligibility & application

Three to four members of one DECA chapter; chapters may submit multiple entries. Required submission: Use Adobe Express and the required food-truck website template. Include a logo/colors, exterior graphics and menu-board design; at least five food/drink items with descriptions and prices; a social-media post with three to five hashtags; and a summary of the target market, products and marketing strategy. Submit the project link and a 30–60-second video showing the concept and use of Adobe Express; videos longer than 60 seconds are ineligible. The slide-template alternative is allowed when district settings prevent student sharing. The deadline clock is published without a timezone, so it cannot generate an exact reminder. Finalist participation: Top-three ICDC participation in Anaheim, California, April 17–20, 2027, depends on chartered association rules and school/chapter advisor approval. Entry does not guarantee conference attendance. No additional grade, age or citizenship requirement is established in these challenge rules; DECA membership and current organizer instructions still apply.
