The Pele Awards Show recognizes the best advertising and design work produced in Hawaii during calendar 2009. The annual cocktail party and awards presentation was attended by more than 400 individuals in the local advertising, design and media business. The following people were recognized:
Outstanding Young Advertising Person of the Year
:AAF Hawaii Advertising Woman of the Year
:AAF Hawaii Advertising Man of the Year
:AAF District 13 Silver Medal Award :"The awards are just part of this event. What's really more important is that we gather like this to share and celebrate some of the best work of Hawaii's advertising and design community. Because every piece of excellent, break-through-the-clutter work that's created by an agency and embraced by a client, opens the path for everyone to do more good work,” said Dennis Christianson, President of Anthology and AAF-District 13’s Silver Medal Winner. “On the other hand, every piece of junk that's produced lowers our standards, and tells clients that mediocrity is okay. And it's not."
Of the
520 entries received,
50 Pele Awards (Gold ADDY Awards),
85 Silver ADDY Awards (Excellences) and
48 Bronze ADDY Awards (Merits) were presented.
