Early Returns for the 44th Annual Addy Awards
Early this year we decided to submit a few projects to the Addy Awards for consideration.
I am happy to report that early indications are favorable. As the letter for Exhibit A (above) states, all five of our entries have been awarded an Addy. The question now is, what color are we going to walk away with---bronze, silver or the almighty sparkly gold. Personally, we are hoping for gold---these days, it's good for a diversified portfolio. Ok, bad joke.
Anyway, being a proud American Advertising Federation member we thought to not only shamelessly plug our success but also the AAF Knoxville event itself. The awards presentation is Saturday, February 21 at the Crowne Plaza in Downtown Knoxville. It is at said proceedings where one finds out the color of their victory. Needless to say, the event is a victory for all Knoxville creatives! Congratulations to the other local winners and to our talented Designsensory peeps.
Keep up with the AAF Knoxville's blog for highlights of the event and check back with our blog for an update of the final results!
Here are our entries:
• Our very own Designsensory (1) identity, stationery, and (2) website.
• The new Hunter Museum of Art website
• Our 2008 Lifesaver Luau campaign for Secret Safe Place of ET
• The four seasonal mini-sites of tnvacation.com
Which color (gold, silver, bronze) would you give to each?

Wow that's great to hear! Especially the little part about the Lifesaver Luau ::wink wink::
I also submitted a poster in the Student ADDYs this year and it will be receiving a reward. I won't find out anything until Tuesday the 23rd. But my fingers are crossed! Good Luck

Care to share what your stationary kit looks like? Can't find it anywhere on the web to visualize what it takes to win Gold.

I'm glad you guys racked it in at the Addy's. Those TN Vacation sites have to get a gold. I'd be shocked if they got anything less. Hope all is well with all the DS folk.
