Valencia Graphics students had yet another great year (and loads of fun!) at the Orlando ADDY Awards! Valencia students brought home 30 of the total 36 Student ADDYs awarded this year. Here is a brief recap of Valencia’s 2008 Student ADDY winners:
- Jason Cantell: Special Judges Award and Gold ADDY
- Eddie Misicka: Best of Student, 1 Gold and 5 Silver ADDYs
- Andrew Porter: 3 Golds and 2 Silver ADDYs
- Daissy Linares: 4 Golds and 2 Silver ADDYs
- Rebecca Montalvo: 1 Silver ADDY
- Jamie Konet: 1 Silver ADDY (not listed in the winner’s book)
- Darla Dietz: 2 Silver ADDYs
- Reina Castellanos: 2 Silver ADDYs
- Charles Caldwell: 1 Gold and 1 Silver ADDY
- Bobbie Miltcheva: 1 Silver ADDY
- Claudia Mundlos: 1 Silver ADDY
Applaud for Dottie Kaufmann, Ariel Flores and Roxana Carrion for doing a great job of making sure IADT was also represented.
Important Note to Student ADDY Winners Regarding Auto-Forwarding:
Entries that win a Gold ADDY® at the local show will be automatically forwarded to the District competition with fees paid by the local chapter. Should the entry win Gold at the at the District level, it will be forwarded to the national competition with fees paid by the District. If your entry is awarded a Silver ADDY® at the local or District level, you have won the right to compete at the next level of competition, however you must pay a $20 entry fee again by the deadline (usually within the next few days!) to manually advance your Silver ADDY® to the District level.
Special thanks to Julio Lima from Say It Loud for donating student tickets again this year and for the teamwork of Julio, Siege and Russ Sillery for arranging such a fun after-party that allowed our students to relish their success just a bit longer! Also, thank you, Professor Mario Saccamango, for graciously accepting the first ever “Special Judges Award” in Jason Cantell’s absence.





Congratulations to everyone.
