AAF-CC is taking application for the 2012 Silver Medal Award Program.
The American Advertising Federation’s Silver Medal Award Program was established in 1959 to recognize men and women who have made outstanding contributions to advertising and who have been active in furthering the industry’s standards, creative excellence and responsibility in areas of social concern.
Each year, AAF-CC members are urged to nominate colleagues for the Silver Medal Award of AAF-CC. Of those nominees, an Award Jury of former Silver Medal Award Winners, Board Members and Past AAF-CC Presidents select the recipient of the Silver Medal Award. Nominees do not have to be members of the AAF-CC organization.
Awarding the AAF Silver Medal is the highlight of our year. It enhances the image of advertising by recognizing a locally well-known person for their advertising and community involvement.
If you know someone who meets the following criteria, nominate them now!
CRITERIA

Contributions to Company
The award winner may have worked in publishing, broadcasting, advertising services or advertiser companies. His or her record of achievement must be solid and continuous.
