Who helped shape your career?

Take a second and think about that person.

The one who gave you a shot.
The one who pushed you to do better work.
The one who made an impact—not just on you, but on the Fort Wayne advertising community as a whole.

Those are the people who shape our industry.

And that’s exactly who the AAF Fort Wayne Silver Medal Award is meant to recognize — the highest and most meaningful honor in our advertising industry.

This isn’t about one great campaign or a single year of work.
It’s about a career of influence, leadership, and giving back.

And it only works if people like you take the time to nominate them.
