The 2016 AAF Lexington American Advertising Awards—fondly known as the ADDYs—was a celebration of the impressive creative spirit that drives Lexington and Central Kentucky. The evening was a huge success, thanks to everyone who came out and had a good time! View photos from the 2016 ADDY Awards.
We’d also like to announce that AAF Lexington won an award at AAF Nationals in California last week! We were recognized for achieving the largest increase in AAF Student entries after having one last year. This is a huge accomplishment and a testament to our dedication to our students.
The highlights:
This year’s Best of Show award went to Braley Design for book design of Jock McDonald’s The Woven Perspective.
