What a way to begin our eighth year of publishing! Celebrate Gettysburg was recently honored with two Silver American Advertising Awards from the American Advertising Federation (AAF) of Greater Frederick.
Our July/August 2013 covers commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg received a Silver American Advertising Award in the publication design, series category. Andrew Murdock photographed living historians Jon Bachmann, Clayton Barker and Andrew Rowland as Union and Confederate Civil War soldiers for a cover shot that wowed us when we studied hundreds of potential cover photos for that issue last year.
And the winnings continued with another history-related story from the September/October 2013 issue profiling the covered bridges of Adams County, this time in the publication design, editorial feature or spread category. Writer James Rada Jr. and photographer Mike Chepurin contributed their amazing writing and photography to the production of this feature.
“To receive two American Advertising Awards is a great joy for all of us at Celebrate Gettysburg, and we are very proud of the creative team members who work so hard to make each issue informative and beautiful,” said Jessica Dean, founder and creative director of Celebrate Gettysburg.
“Designing a magazine that appeals to the interests of both local residents and visitors alike is not easy. A great publication must be attractive in both content and design, and it must engage its readers issue after issue. We thank the judges for recognizing our good work,” said Graphcom President Matt Livelsberger, publisher of Celebrate Gettysburg.
The 2014 American Advertising Awards ceremony on Saturday, March 1 was held at the Walkersville Social Hall in Walkersville, Frederick County, Maryland.
Billed as the “Oscars” of the advertising world, the American Advertising Awards is an annual event for the District 2 AAF region, covering New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and Washington, D.C.
Celebrate Gettysburg has been consistently recognized by the AAF – Greater Frederick for excellence in publication design.
