Students in Meadows’ Temerlin Advertising Institute continue to churn out spectacular work, and they have the awards to prove it. In 2023, they have already won 193 awards in local, regional, and national advertising competitions, shattering their previous annual award record of 132, with four months of the year still to go.

 

After collecting 26 of the 30 awards given at the Dallas ADDYs in March, advertising students continued to bring home the accolades for the Division of Advertising. They received 10 awards at the District 10 ADDYs, which was more than several universities in the region combined! They went on to receive four awards at the National ADDYs, including two gold awards. Students continued to win awards in competitions like the Clio Awards, the DSVC National Student Show, and more. In addition to awards, students also had their work published by outlets like Ads of the World, Communication Arts Design Annual and Roastbrief.

 

Congratulations to our advertising students for your achievements this year! See below for a full list of awards.
