Campus Televisions

Television screens across campus and in the University YMCA Student Center display still images on a constant rotation.

Please follow the submission requirements shown to the right. Remember that the display time for TV advertisements is short. Design your ad so that it is eye-catching and only includes the most essential information. Less is more!

Television ads are updated as they are received, typically within 1-2 days after approval.

If you need to withdraw an advertisement, send your request by email to nashd@uw.edu. Please attach an image of the advertisement so that it can be more easily found.
