The SCADDY Awards, held Jan. 26 at the Lucas Theatre in Savannah, honored SCAD student advertising and advertising-related work in 16 categories. Nearly 1,600 entries were received and judged by a panel of faculty and industry professionals, including best-selling author and copywriter Luke Sullivan.
Ken Ziegler’s entry “Datecam.com” was selected by Sullivan to receive a Special Judges Award for Copywriting. Ziegler is a senior advertising design student.
All of the award-winning work will be entered free of charge in the local ADDY Awards contest, the advertising industry’s largest creative competition. Local gold-medal winners proceed to the regional and national levels.
“The advertising design department at SCAD is devoted to preparing students for careers in the advertising industry,” said David Foote, SCAD-Atlanta advertising design professor. “That means encouraging collaboration and rewarding creative excellence. That’s why we host the SCADDY Awards.”
