Season 23 Arrives: March 1, 2023
Creator: American Advertising Federation of Greater Rochester
TVG | Reality Award Show | TV Series | 2023
Back for its 23rd Season, the Silver Award goes to a consummate performer who has pushed our ad community forward, a master of the craft whom you and many others have turned to for guidance. They’ve earned the utmost respect from their colleagues and compatriots. A perennial star.
Criteria: Nominations should demonstrate the candidate’s contributions to their company, ad industry, and the greater community in Rochester. Candidates should also demonstrate a high degree of creative, original thinking in whatever role(s) they’ve held.
Selection: The Silver Award winner will be selected by past AAFGR presidents from the nomination submissions. It is not mandatory for this award to be given each year but if a winner is chosen, the award will be presented at that year’s American Advertising Awards.
