Several VisCom Students Honored at ADDY Awards

Three East Texas A&M University Visual Communication majors received honors at the American Advertising Federation-Dallas Chapter’s annual American Advertising Awards ceremony, also known as the ADDYS, on February 27, 2025, in Dallas. Ana Aguilar won the Gold ADDY, the highest prize available, for her Twilight Coffee Branding Campaign. Nikki Caballero and Kiara Gomez won Silver ADDYS for the Violin Society Conference Poster and Ellis Canvas Tents Branding Campaign, respectively.

The ADDYs is the largest advertising awards program in the United States. Winning entries move on to the district level, then the national level. The recognition highlights the East Texas A&M Visual Communication program’s success in the ADDYs. A student and professor received Silver ADDYs in 2023. In addition, ETAMU student work has been featured in publications by Graphis and Creative Quarterly over the last year.
