Award Show Season

The ad industry is preparing for the big shows. The ANDY Awards, ADDY, Clios, One Show, Cannes and the Art Directors Club begin their calls for entry between September and April. These awards shows celebrate the best of the best. Judging is done by expert panels of industry folks. Each one of these shows also features a student competition, where students from all the ad schools (and brand schools) submit work. VCU Brandcenter and Miami Ad School both have solid reputations at these shows. Some of the student winners will go on to be creative directors.

This ad is an example of some great student work. Jason Rosenberg is the Art Director and Tim Gordon is the Copywriter. The work took many hours to produce because it was made using hundreds of still images. Working with no budget and limitless creativity Rosenberg and Gordon created something special.

This ad for JBL Creature Speakers is off to compete at the The ANDY Awards. I’m predicting that they will come home with an ANDY.
