2015 American Advertising Awards Recap

American Advertising Awards 2015

THANK YOU!

AAFCM would like to thank the students, college instructors, agencies, organizations and individuals who entered their work or volunteered their time and resources to make this year’s competition such a success. With other 300 entries submitted this year, across a variety of mediums, it’s apparent that Central Minnesota’s advertising community is alive and well… perhaps even legendary. AAFCM is happy to encourage and support your creative efforts and provide you with a platform to showcase your imagination and talent and in turn, get the recognition you deserve.

FUN “STUFF”

If you haven’t yet, take a look at our Facebook page! A gallery of the agents who agreed to have their witness protection portrait taken by Guytano Magno Photography at Saturday’s event will be posted soon. You will be able to download images directly from Facebook. Also, check our page throughout the week, as we’ll be posting the Best of Show award videos as well as the Judge’s Choice award videos.

Also, a full list of winners and PDF of the winners book is available here.

FORWARD ENTRIES TO DISTRICTS

So you won an award, now what?

Congrats! If your entry won a Gold ADDY, it’ll be automatically forwarded to the District 8 competition with fees paid by AAFCM. You don’t have to do anything!

If your entry was awarded a Silver, you have won the right to compete at the next level. In order to officially forward your Silver-winning entry, please fill out this online form and submit the appropriate forwarding fee ($75 per professional entry; $20 per student entry). Requests and payments to forward Silvers to the 8th District Competition must be received by Friday, January 30.

The District 8 judging will take place in mid-March and an awards event will be held in Minneapolis in early April (date/location TBD). For more details, visit www.aafd8.org.
