TAFEF Hall of Achievement Awards
Every fall, TAFEF honors Tucson’s notable advertising professionals– past, present, and future–by hosting the annual Hall of Achievement Awards. Those awards include induction of honorees into the Tucson Advertising Hall of Fame, which recognizes marketing and industry professionals who have led, mentored and inspired others as part of the AAFT.
Other Hall of Achievement awards include the AAF Silver Medal Award for lifelong contributions to the industry here, the Ad Professional of the Year, for being an outstanding role model to others in the industry, and the Next Generation Award, which recognizes outstanding advertising professionals, age 40 and younger, who have made a significant impact on the industry.
Net proceeds from the AAFT Advertising Hall of Achievement event benefits the Tucson Advertising Federation Educational Foundation, a 501(C)3 charitable organization.
TAFEF 2020 Hall of Achievement event postponed
Amidst stay-at-home orders and social distancing of the COVID-19 crisis, The Tucson Advertising Federation Education Foundation (TAFEF), with the American Advertising Federation Tucson (AAFT), have cancelled the 2020 Tucson Advertising Hall of Achievement awards and rescheduled it for 2021.
This year’s cancelled event, planned for Sept. 10, will be held Sept. 9, 2021 at Hacienda del Sol.
Award nominations for the 2020 event had been due May 5. Since no awards will be made this year, those nominations will be rolled into the names under considered for the 2021 awards.
