ADDY Awards March 20 at Victoria Gardens

(Ontario, CA) This year's ADDY Awards, recognizing the finest advertising in the Inland Empire, are scheduled for Friday, March 20 at Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga. The annual competition is sponsored by the local chapter of the American Advertising Federation (AAF).

A cocktail reception with hors d' oeuvres begins at 6:30PM in the Cultural Center, followed by the awards presentation at 8PM. The ADDY's honor creative excellence in advertising, graphic design, web design, photography and illustration. This year's gala will recognize the finest advertising in the Inland Empire during 2008.

According to AAF board member and program chair John McCarthy, "This is our opportunity to showcase the winners who were recently selected during very competitive judging." A special student category will honor local college students for their creative advertising submissions. Last year, students at The Art Institute of California-Inland Empire won the majority of creative student awards according to McCarthy.

Local winners will advance to district competition, said McCarthy, and district winners will compete in the national competition.
