Silver Medal Award

The Silver Medal Awards is American Advertising Federation’s highest honor. It was established in 1959 to recognize me and women who have made outstanding contributions and who have been active in furthering the industry’s standards, creative excellence and responsibility in areas of social concern. Since Joel Swanson received the first Silver Medal in 1962, AAF Mobile Bay has recognized an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the field of advertising.

This award is not limited to the members of AAF Mobile Bay. However, you must be a member of AAF Mobile Bay to make a nomination. The selection committee is comprised of past Silver Medal recipients who are also current members of AAFMB.
