It was the third year that UTRGV Graphic Design students joined the American Advertising Awards annual competition, starting from American Advertising Federation’s local club. The American Advertising Awards is the advertising industry’s largest and most representative competition, attracting over 40,000 entries every year in local AAF Club (Ad Club) competitions across the nation. The mission of the American Advertising Awards competition is to recognize and reward the creative spirit of excellence in the art of advertising.

This year, UTRGV Graphic Design students won twenty-two awards (Thirteen Silver Student ADDY Awards, eight Gold Student ADDY awards, and the Best of Show Award) at AAF-RGV local competition. Eight Gold Student ADDY Awards and the Best of Show award from local club competition were forwarded to the district 10 regional ADDY competition, and competed with other local winners from more than 37 institutions in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, including UT other components.
