TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Students in The University of Alabama’s department of advertising and public relations recently brought home a number of awards from the 2013 AAF-Tuscaloosa American Advertising Federation Awards.
The AAF Student ADDY Competition is a unique national awards program designed specially for college students. Work entered at the local level can move up to the regional and national judging, just like the work entered by professionals across the country.
“We’re very proud of the creative work our students are producing,” said Dr. Glenn Griffin, UA associate professor of advertising. “The best advertising isn’t just aesthetically pleasing, it’s also strategically sound, and that idea is foundational to the program we are building here. We are happy to see so much of our students’ work advancing to the next level of competition.”
