Columbus College of Art & Design students add ADDYs to their trophy collections

We know Columbus College of Art & Design students are outstanding, but it never hurts to hear it from an outside source.

That’s why we were happy—but unsurprised—to hear that 14 of our Advertising & Graphic Design students won first- (Gold) or second-place (Silver) awards at the local American Advertising Awards (ADDYs).

The award ceremony for the central Ohio competition is Friday, March 1, 2019 at the Columbus Museum of Art. The best professional and student work in central Ohio will be recognized at the awards, hosted by the American Advertising Federation Columbus. Local ADDY trophy winners will compete regionally at the district level against entries from Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia; the very best will face off in the national competition.

Student work included real or mock campaigns for nonprofit and commercial brands. The following are awards finalists:

  • Sam Collins (Advertising & Graphic Design, 2019): Space Brew AR Beer Coaster
