The ADDY Awards
The Silver Medal Award


2007 Silver Medal Awarded to Tom Kane

AAF-Orlando is pleased to honor Tom Kane for his outstanding achievements and contributions to the advertising industry, community service, and education by awarding him the 2007 Silver Medal—the highest award given to an individual in the advertising community. Tom serves as vice president, creative director at Fry Hammond Barr where he has helped develop many of Orlando’s most high profile campaigns and has received awards from dozens of national shows. Over the years he has contributed greatly to the local ad community and has been a big supporter of AAF-Orlando. He has volunteered and helped the community in numerous ways, creating advertising and marketing campaigns to benefit a host of local charities and has generously shared his time and talents with students by speaking, mentoring, reviewing portfolios and participating in shadowing programs.

The Silver Medal Award Program was established in 1959 by the American Advertising Federation (AAF) to recognize men and women who have made outstanding contributions to advertising and who have been active in furthering the industry's standards, creative excellence and responsibility in areas of social concern. Annually, AAF member clubs bestow this honor upon outstanding members of the local advertising community.

The Silver Medal is the highest award that can be given by AAF-Orlando. Silver Medal recipients are selected by a panel of judges from each local club. Judges use the following criteria when making their selections:

Contributions to the Community - The recipient should be someone who has been active in civic, religious, or other groups dedicated to human or social welfare.
