2010 Pele Awards

A Special Tribute

A special Pele category entitled “Advertising Industry Selfless Promotion” was added this year to honor the amazing service of 3 people: Jim Myers and Barbara Scott, each for 20 years of service to AAF-Hawaii, and Richard Ma for 25 years of audio/visual expertise in putting on the annual show. Each of them received a Pele award. In addition, Barbara Scott received a “Best Of Show” for coordinating all aspects of the event for 20 years. As a special tribute, a number of advertising professionals put together this special video:

About the Pele Awards
Held every year, The Pele Awards is a creative competition designed to recognize the best advertising and design work created in Hawaii during the preceding calendar year.

The Pele Awards competition is open to any individual, company or organization engaged in the business of advertising or design work in Hawaii. There is no limit to the number of entries a person or company can enter. Work entered in the Pele Awards can not be entered in any other ADDY competition across the country.  To enter the Pele Awards, work must have been conceived and created within the Hawaiian Islands, although production services may be used outside of Hawaii.
