Silver Medal Award

Nominations for the 2008 Silver Medal Award of Coastal Advertising and Marketing Professionals will be accepted until January 4, 2008. CAMP members are urged to nominate colleagues who merit this recognition, the highest awarded by the American Advertising Federation. Nominees do not have to be members of the Coastal Advertising and Marketing Professional organization.
An Award Jury of former Silver Medal Award Winners selects the recipient of the Silver Medal Award.

The Silver Medal is unique among advertising awards. It is given to recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to advertising and who have been active in furthering industry standards, creative excellence and responsibility in areas of social concern. This award is to honor individuals for lifetime achievements in the advertising industry. Among the major contributions for which a prospective Silver Medal recipient should be judged are the following:

1. Contributions to company: The award winner may have worked in publishing, broadcasting, advertising services or advertiser companies. His or her record of achievement must be solid and continuous.

2. Creative ability: The award winner should rate in original, imaginative thinking in the phase of phases of advertising in which he or she has worked. Since creative ability is emphasized in advertising in the broadest sense, creative ability may be measured in research, copy, art, marketing, sales and media.

3. Contribution to general advancement of advertisement: The award recipient will be participated in activities for the overall good of advertising. He or she may be an active member of such organizations as ANA, AFA, AAA, the Advertising Council or the ARF, etc.

4. Personal qualifications: The award winner will be recognized as a person of principle and integrity.

As set forth in AAF guidelines for the Silver Medal Award program, after reviewing nominations, the Award Jury may elect not to present this award. The Award Jury also reserves the right to nominate and choose a winner from their nominees that fit the criteria. The more nominations received by the jury will, of course, increase the likelihood that a qualified recipient will be found.

Nominees DO NOT have to be a member of CAMP.
