Guilford Tech Students Win Addy Awards
Valecia Hopper, a GTCC advertising and graphics design student from Greensboro, won three ADDY awards including “best of show” in the recent American Advertising Federation ADDY Awards contest at Dorton Arena in Raleigh. The Triad Chapter of AAF didn’t have a contest this year, and its members were able to compete in the Triangle Chapter’s contest. Hopper won “best of show” and gold awards for her poster advertisement “The Farmer’s Market”. She also won a silver award for her advertisement called “Hunger.”
