Silver Medal Awards

The American Advertising Federation's Silver Medal Award Program was established in 1959 to recognize men and women who have made outstanding contributions to advertising and who have been active in furthering the industry's standards, creative excellence and responsibility in areas of social concern. Annually, the Charlotte Ad Club bestows this honor upon an outstanding member of the local advertising community.

The Silver Medal recipient will be selected by a panel of judges made up of past winners and Charlotte Ad Club board members and officers.
