DUBUQUE—Abbie Duclos, a Graphic Design student at Northeast Iowa Community College, was awarded a Silver District ADDY for her entry, “Frank Turner Record Cover Design.”

Abbie qualified for district-level competition after winning the college student Best of Show award, two Gold ADDY's and a Judge's Choice award in the 2021-2022 AAAwards ceremony hosted by the Dubuque chapter of the American Advertising Federation on Feb. 18 (pictured at right).

Over the last month, a diverse, accomplished trio of creative professionals from Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, New York and North Carolina joined the AAF District 9 board virtually to judge nearly 75 student entries from across the district. Abbie’s entry was one of 20 entries to receive a Gold or Silver award.

The AAF is a national nonprofit organization, promoting and protecting the interests of advertising and public relations. Locally, AAF Dubuque is the affiliate to the national organization and the American Advertising Awards.
