Stopper judges AAF Nebraska ADDYs

HACK partner Mike Stopper has been selected as a ADDYs competition judge for the Nebraska chapter of the American Advertising Federation. He will be judging creative submissions from agencies throughout Nebraska and western Iowa for the American Advertising Awards (ADDYs). 

The theme for this year’s event is “Cloud Nine, the Climate of Creative Excellence. The show will take place Friday, February 20 at the 1316 Jones Street venue in Omaha’s historic Old Market District.

Stopper will be part of a four-judge panel who will award Gold and Silver awards to deserving work, plus Best of Show and individual Judges Choice in both the professional and student divisions.

“Thank you to AAF Nebraska for asking me to judge for a second time,” said HACK partner, strategist and writer Mike Stopper. “The ADDYs truly do unify all of our local chapters, and I enjoy seeing the creative product from other cities across the US.”

AAF Nebraska (inclusive of western Iowa) was founded in 1906 and is the local chapter of the American Advertising Federation—the “unifying voice” of the 40,000 professionals in our nation’s advertising industry. The Nebraska ADDYs are the first step in a three-tiered competition that culminates into the national American Advertising Awards this summer. It is our industry’s largest creative competition with over 35,000 professional and student entries each year.
