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 Russ Sillery, et. al., for arranging such a fun after-party that allowed our students to relish their success just a bit longer! Also, thank you, Jason Ellison, for graciously accepting Wendy Johnson’s Best of Student ADDY while she was away in Acapulco!

Good luck to students and local professionals at the District and National ADDYs!

Valencia students who have won ADDYs, please provide us with an image of your winning entries so that we may post them in flickr. I have created a drop box on the East Campus server to place the files in.
