SNU Graphic Design Students Win Ten OKC Ad Club Addy Awards
Congratulations to the five SNU Graphic Design students who won ten awards at the 10th District OKC ADDY Awards Gala on February 18, 2023. The formal event was held at the Criterion theater in downtown Oklahoma City with an attendance of 250 or more. Professor Phyllis Eagle, SNU
Graphic Design department chair, has entered students in the competition for the past seven years. Each year SNU design students have placed in many categories, with this year’s entries garnering the most awards for the department so far!
The ADDY Awards are the largest creative competition in the country, with approximately 55,000 local entries competing in 200 cities coast to coast. Winning at the local level is the first step in competing for a national ADDY trophy. Any entry that wins a Gold or Silver ADDY Award is eligible
to advance and compete in the district competition. From there, they could advance to the national competition. There are both professional and student-level competitions hosted at each district and celebrated at the award ceremony.
