Silver Medal
The AAF’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. Clubs across the country bestow this honor upon outstanding members of the local advertising community and award them at the awards gala each year.
