Gaylord College ranked top in the nation by the Broadcast Education Awards
Only two months into the semester and Gaylord College has already won or moved into the finals of some prestigious competitions.
Gaylord’s student-run advertising agency, Lindsey + Asp, has taken home three professional ADDY awards. Two OU rugby promotional videos, as well as their “No Shave November” campaign, won professional-level advertising honors at the awards event. The rugby campaign also received an Uppercase award in October from the OKC PRSA.
Faculty and students earned 19 awards at the recent Broadcast Education Association’s Festival of Media Arts, the most of any school in the nation. In the video competition Gaylord College students won both Best of Festival awards, the competition’s highest honor. Katie Wingfield and Lindsay Webster won Best of Festival in the Animated/Experimental category for their production, “Why I Love Teenage Girls,” and Jason Gwynn won Best of Festival in the Sports category with “Unilever.”
Professor Scott Hodgson and graduate student Janelle Barrick won Best of Competition for their Mixed Video entry “It’s the Music.”
The awards will be presented at a live event in Las Vegas on April 13.
