Big Wig Winners Announced

The second Annual Big Wig Awards were a huge success! Thanks to everyone who participated in nominating, voting, and celebrating with our Big Wig Winners.

AAF Knoxville's Big Wig Awards were created to celebrate the people who maybe don't get ADDY or creative awards, but who are instrumental in others getting them. Here's a list of our honorees for 2011:

Josh Loebner of DesignSensory was given the first annual Unsung Hero Award in appreciation for outstanding dedication and devotion to the principles and ideals of the advertising community.

Josh has started a blog called advertisinganddisability.com that addresses how the communications industry portrays people with disabilities.
