The American Advertising Federation Birmingham Awards, also known as the ADDYs, honored students from the College of Arts and Sciences for their work at a ceremony held in late February.

The students are from the Department of Art and Art History and Digital Media, whose group includes students in a number of majors. More than two-dozen of them were honored with Gold and Silver Student ADDY awards for their individual and team projects, including Best of Show to Digital Media for their yearlong project called KNOW DOPE, a heroin prevention and awareness campaign funded by the United States Department of Justice and U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance of the Northern District of Alabama.

UAB Digital Media and Bloom Studio, a student graphic design studio in the Department of Art and Art History, also partnered to serve as the agency of record for the 2016 Birmingham ADDY awards. Student and media fellow Stephen Stark created the design.
