UIW Graphic Design Students Shine at 2023 American Advertising Awards
Students in the University of the Incarnate Word’s Graphic Design program were recently honored as finalists in the 2023 American Advertising Awards hosted by the American Advertising Federation – San Antonio (AAF-SA) chapter. Per the organization’s website, “the mission of the American Advertising Awards competition is to recognize and reward the creative spirit of excellence in the art of advertising.”
At a banquet held on Saturday, Feb. 18 at the McNay Art Museum, winners in each category were announced. Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards were given, with those winning Student Gold & Silver Awards advancing to a district-level competition. Students were judged by experts in the field of advertising, including Michael Hemphill, creator and host of Blue Ridge PBS Show BUZZ, 伊娃Larraga, a creative and visual designer with experience with international brands, 凯利·康普, founding partner and creative director at Multiple Inc.
UIW students ultimately took home 32 awards: 3 Gold, 13银, 15铜牌, and 1 Student Judges Award. Student Rozlynn Olivas (BFA, 2024) was also awarded a $1500.00 AAF-SA Scholarship.
