Work produced by NDSU’s Office of Publications Services and Office of Distance and Continuing Education received numerous honors, including Best of Show, at the American Advertising Federation of North Dakota’s annual Addy Awards, held Feb. 24.
Together, NDSU staff members won six Gold Addy Awards and eight Silver Addy Awards. Best of Show was awarded to a Concert Choir poster and program, designed by Rebekka DeVries, in Publications Services. Another top honor, a Judge's Choice award, went to the "DCE Style and Graphic Standards Manual," designed by Ludvik Herrera and Jeff Knight, both in Distance and Continuing Education.
The competition included nearly 400 entries from across North Dakota in all areas of advertising, including print, TV, radio and interactive.
The state-wide Addy contest is the first part of a three-tier national competition conducted annually by the American Advertising Federation. Local gold award winners move on to a district competition against other local contest winners from North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Gold winners at the district level then move on to a national competition.
