The 2009 ADDY Awards

Last Saturday, my friend Sandy and I had the opportunity to shoot the Hampton Roads ADDY Awards at the Westin Hotel in Town Center. This year's award ceremony was put together by the creative minds of Jon and Jenny, who've spent the past several months preparing for this event. The theme was "Advertising Epidemic," with the premise that a virus was spreading and stripping the advertising community of its creativity. The solution? Getting the creative minds of Hampton Roads together and showcasing this year's ADDY Award entries to fight the virus and get creativity back. Some highlights of the night included a security screening, waiters dressed in scrubs, the containment of an infected, a playdough sculpture contest, and of course... the reception of awards. I hope these photos give you all a taste of all the hard work that was put into this event... kudos to the entire 2009 ADDY Awards volunteer committee! You all put on an amazing event that definitely had people talking.
