Fresno State students from the Department of Art and Design received amazing news in April for their incredible achievements competing in the Regional District 14 Student American Advertising Awards, formerly known as the ADDY Awards.

The Regional awards is the second tier of a three-tier competition, as part of the Fresno Advertising Federation and the 2018 American Advertising Awards, where Fresno State graphic design students competed against other local ad clubs in showcasing their fantastic creative work. The students competing in District 14 represent the Fresno, Reno, Sacramento, San Francisco and Silicon Valley areas.

Out of the Art and Design students recognized for their amazing accomplishments, six received gold and 14 received silver. Three gold winners are pictured here from left to right, Kristine Ogawa, Alumni Timothy McAttee and Jeff Vinogradoff.
