2009 ADDY GALA AWARDS TOP WINNERS!

Advertising's Best Shine at AAF- 4th District ADDY Gala

May 16, 2009, Orlando, FL - The American Advertising Federation - 4th District ADDY Awards Gala was truly a red carpet event to remember. The advertising industry's best and brightest were on hand to celebrate outstanding work from throughout Florida and the Caribbean.

The AAF-Orlando chapter hosted the event at the World Center Marriott, but it was the entire state of Florida that continued to reassert itself as a regional hotbed of advertising creativity with the list of winners spanning the District. Everything from TV and radio spots to print ads and viral campaigns received kudos, but of the over 1550 entries submitted to the District competition, just 109 would win Gold ADDYs on this night.

Even tougher to come by were Charlie Awards and Best of Shows. The former recognize the best work in each of the 14 media divisions while the latter represent the best of the competition overall.

Winning Student Best of Show this year were J. Smith, Aiden Ho and Brigham White of Miami Ad School for their "Don't Let Their Be A Last Chip" television spot.

For the professionals, Best of Show went to Orlando agency, Fry Hammond Bar for their "Asterisk Hunter Integrated Campaign" done for Bright House Networks.
