Several weeks ago, a committee of ADC members selected the five recipients of ADC National Scholarships. We received over 170 entries from schools across the country (and the world!), so it was a challenge to narrow down the field to just a handful of finalists.

Many thanks to the selection committee:
Raquella Kagan, Kristopher Delaney, Michael Gottlieb, Lisa Maione, Mark Chew, and Jason Lancaster

This year saw not only a huge increase in entries, but also our most valuable award yet: the $5,000 Corbis Award for Overall Creative Excellence, which was bestowed upon the top-scoring applicant from any category. ADC also gave out four $2,500 cash scholarships, sponsored by Veer and ADC member Michael Schrom of Michael Schrom & Company, as well as an award in memory of ADC life member Bernie Owett. An additional scholarship was made possible by donations from members (including Andres Fernandez, Ernest Scarfone, James C. Smith, Kurt Haiman, Barbara Nessim, and Milton Glaser) and 86th Annual Awards entrants.
