Hundreds of media folks turned out Saturday night to honor each other for a year’s worth of creative endeavors at the 2012 ADDY Awards Gala and Dinner, celebrating "45 Years of Excellence."
The event is presented annually by the American Advertising Federation of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The ballroom at Frenchman’s Reef was filled with people in fancy dress, bounding around the room sharing the excitement. Who would be honored in the 38 categories of media achievement? Who knocked whose socks off?
As master of ceremonies and immediate club past president, Kevin Hughes, noted, "If anything happened to this room tonight the territory would be left with no media."
The special honorees, however, were no secret, having been announced in advance. Media Achievement Awards were added this year in four fields of advertising and marketing to honor the professionals who consistently excel in their discipline, according to Club President Lisa Jamil, announcing the winners. They were:
Television – Sandra Goomansingh of CBS-TV2.
Radio – Anthony Peets, better known as DJ Tony T, of Ackley Media Group
Print – Rita Jones and Jennifer Sibilly of Media Marketing for print.
Online – Shaun A. Pennington, publisher of the Virgin Islands Source.
Pennington briefly traced the Source’s history beginning in 1999 when she was toying with the idea of taking on the project, which had been suggested to her by former Daily News editor Penny Feuerzeig. "My younger son, Aaron, made up my mind when he said, ‘Mom, you have to do this. It’s right up your alley. There’s nothing you like more than talking on the phone, knowing things before everyone else, and then telling everyone.’"
In accepting the award, Pennington remarked when the Source was started, the only Internet access was dial-up. She thanked Innovative and Choice Communications for providing the high-speed service we have today.
The Lifetime Achievement Award went to veteran broadcaster Lee Carle, who had just returned to WSTA after about a year’s medical leave.
Carle has lost none of his characteristic bluster. Initially saying, "My job is talking,and I’m at a loss for words," he quickly regained the power of speech. Holding the audience in his hand, he recapped highlights of his 53-year career.
"I arrived in 1954, just 23, green. I was met at the old Truman airport by a guy wearing a sheriff’s badge and sporting a gun," Lee said. "It was WSTA station owner Bill Greer, who was also a U.S. Marshall.”
"He directed me to the so-called station in Frenchtown, a tiny block house surrounded by chickens and dogs. Inside a mike dangled from a rope and the announcer Ron deLugo was asleep in a hammock. He told me to read on air from a copy of the New York Times sitting there.’It’s two days old,’ I said. ‘Doesn’t matter,’ he said."
Carle is a household name in the territory, especially to those who lived through Hurricane Hugo in 1989, when WSTA was the lifeline, the islands’ only voice.
When Carle was in New York awaiting surgery, just as he was about to be rolled into the operating room, "Somebody called out ‘Lee Carle, Virgin Islands.’” Carle said. “Well, it turned out to be Jamal Shillingford from St. Croix. I’ve known his mother for years.”
A short slide show with scenes from Carle’s past showed his appearance a few years ago on TV’s "Good Morning America," with Diane Sawyer, and pictures of Carl’s daughter, son-in-law and grand kids, complete with greetings to their granddad.
Sheldon Turnbull received a loud and enthusiastic reception when he went to the stage to accept the Emerging Leader Award. Turnbull was obviously thrilled and a bit shy. On air he is the voice of his station, independent 107.9 FM DaVybe, but Saturday he spoke briefly of creating the station with Kevin Wenner and Derek Joseph in 2007. In 2010, it became a 24-hour station offering what he calls "the complete spectrum of the listening experience one place on the dial."
In addition to the local ADDY’s, the award show is also held nationally as one of many events hosted by the National American Advertising Federation. Recognizing all forms of media, the ADDY Awards are the largest advertising competition in the world. Winning entries from the V.I. ADDY Awards go on to represent the territory and compete in the larger national competition.
A portion of the proceeds from the ADDY’s support community-based programs such as the Advertising Club and the University of the Virgin Islands Internship Program, where the organization helps students find meaningful internships and ultimately jobs within their chosen field of interest. This year, the Ad Club is putting all of its resources and fund-raising efforts toward the creation of a permanent UVI Endowment Scholarship Fund, which will benefit local students majoring in the field of communications, Jamil said.
The American Advertising Federation has 200 member clubs in 15 districts within the U.S. and the Caribbean. The AAF-USVI is a part of the 4th district, which also includes Florida. Further information on the ADDY Awards or the AAF-USVI can be found at the Web site, www.AdClubVI.org
The event was primarily sponsored by Innovative, CBC-TV2 and Scotia Bank
Cutting Edge is a new member, and it rocked the public service category, while corporate winners VILottery, Choice Wireless and Scotiabank won the most awards, with Austin Advertising picked up several.
St. John was well-represented with wins by Tell-Tale Pictures, MaLinda Media and Island Treasure maps.
MLB Creative was responsible for the most creative wins for Choice Wireless, Scotaibank, VILottery and McDonald’s.
Examples of the winners entries were flashed on a large screen throughout the evening, prompting many screeches, oohs and aahs.
Following is a list of all 75 winners.
