All the Way to Nationals Baby!
One of our great joys is the daily chance to create unique, effective advertising and marketing messages for our clients. Sometimes those messages are so distinctive that they are honored in competitions, such as the local ADDY Awards hosted by the American Advertising Federation – Topeka.
As listed previously, jhP won several Gold ADDY Awards in this year’s local competition. One winner was “Paper Dali” an illustration created by Dan Billen and the jhP art team for the Mulvane Art Museum’s 2008 Mulvane Mountain/Plains Art Fair. Along with the rest of the Gold ADDY winners, “Paper Dali” advanced to contend at the AAF – Ninth District ADDYs. Competition included local winners from across our four-state region: Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa.
In District competition, typically dominated by the “big guys” from Kansas City and St. Louis, “Paper Dali” brought home another Gold ADDY! As a District-level Gold winner, “Paper Dali” advances to the National ADDY Competition to compete against award-winning illustrations nationwide.
Next weekend, Dan Billen & Gary Jones will travel to Arlington, Virginia to attend the National ADDY Awards Show. With a little luck, they might find themselves walking across the biggest stage in advertising – collecting another big ADDY for “Paper Dali.”
