Farmingdale State College’s (FSC) vibrant Marketing and Communications team recently took home 16 awards in two prestigious industry competitions.
“These recognitions are a true reflection of the hard work, growth and collaboration of the entire FSC MarComm team,” said Matthew Colson, Vice President for Development and Communications for FSC. “We are extremely proud to be recognized by our peers in two national competitions focused on exceptional quality, creativity, and message effectiveness. Congratulations to FSC and to all this year’s winners.”
FSC was proudly honored with 10 awards in the 38th Annual Educational Advertising Awards--the largest, oldest, and most respected educational advertising awards competition in the country. This year’s competition received over 2,000 entries from over 1000 colleges, universities, and secondary schools from all 50 states, and numerous foreign countries. The 2023 esteemed judges consisted of a national panel of higher education marketers, advertising creative directors, marketing, and advertising professionals.
FSC also took home six awards in the 60th Graphic Design USA (GDUSA) Inhouse Design Awards, the original and premier showcase for outstanding work by inhouse creatives and their departments. This year’s competition received over 5,000 entries with fewer than 10 percent recognized as winners.
The GDUSA American Inhouse Design Awards highlight inhouse designers who advance the mission and value of their institutions with perfectly positioned, effective, authentic, and trustworthy communications. The GDUSA, which covers news, people, projects, trends, technology, products, and services, has been a source of news and information for graphic designers and the broader creative community since 1963.
