Collins College Graphic Design Student Wins Only Student ADDY at the
2008 ADDY®
Awards Held in Phoenix
TEMPE, Ariz. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) February 26, 2008 --
Venessa Colinares, a Collins College graphic design student, has been
honored as the only individual to receive a 2008 Student ADDY®
Award from the American Advertising Federation Metro-Phoenix Club. A
total of 770 professionals and students submitted entries. Colinares
will be accepting her award at the official ADDY gala March 1, 2008 at
the Scottsdale Resort and Conference Center.
Colinares, who is in her senior year, submitted a class project where
she created a corporate identity campaign for her own clothing company.
Her campaign included a business plan, logo, company and product
brochures, signage, and packaging.
The ADDY® Awards
honor creative excellence in nearly every area of advertising and are
the only major national creative competition with three rigorous levels
of judging—at the local, regional and national
levels.
The Student ADDY Awards spotlight up-and-coming talent, recognizing and
honoring outstanding creative work done by students of accredited U.S.
educational institutions. All work submitted in the Student ADDY
Competition is subject to the same rules and guidelines and submission
requirements as the professional ADDY Competition. Entering students
must be enrolled full or part-time in an accredited U.S. college.
Additionally, work must be created while students are still enrolled in
school. Students cannot be employed in the advertising industry.
According to Dana Veirs, Colinares’s graphic
design instructor who encouraged her to enter the contest, “This
is a quite an achievement for a student to accomplish on their own. We
are extremely proud of Venessa and are excited to have her represent
Collins College at this year’s ADDY®
Awards.”
