It's time!

It's time to start looking back over the year to find your best work. It's exciting! There are even about 5 weeks left to create something award-winning and get it on the streets. Are you up to it? Do you have what it takes?

Year after year, the Ocala Addy Award Competition celebrates and honors those who are doing great creative work. There are so many challenges to contend with on a daily basis... clients, budgets, deadlines, creative-block, technology... the Addy Awards are a great chance to let loose and shine while looking back over the best work you and others in Marion County have created.

Keep checking back here, we'll blog on things like judging, what it takes to win, fun gala tidbits (you need to plan your outfit, don't you?), and we'll also showcase some past winners.

Cheers for now, and happy creating!

Special thanks to Kip Williams for working on the creative for this year's Addys and Gala, it's good stuff! Thank you to Mark Hershberger at BJ Trophy for getting the beautiful medals done so quickly, and thank you to everyone on the board and the Addy committee... it's a lot of work but it's worth it!

They're here!

The new medallions are here!

Go-AdFed President, Jessi Miller, took them to the 4th District AdFed Conference in Daytona to receive some ooh's and aaah's. Keep an eye out, a couple of other Florida clubs are looking into getting their own now. That's right folks, Ocala is setting trends. It's not just the medals – the "Creative Blues" theme for our Gala has been picked up by Orlando, too. It's good to share with our AdFed family.

The countdown to entry day is on! There are 8 short weeks left, so start thinking about what fantastic work you've been doing all year... or scramble to finish that next great project... because you know you want to get more than one 2008 ADDY ON!

A better glamour-shot of the medals is coming soon.
