The Annual CADC Awards Show
Honoring Excellence Created Throughout Connecticut
Once a year, we gather to spend an evening celebrating the achievements of our colleagues throughout the state. The Annual Awards Show honors excellence in 8 main categories: advertising, environmental design, graphic design, illustration, online/interactive, photography, student, and video.
The Winners are In!

From the earliest days of the Club, the show has always been the cornerstone of the CADC. We love the friendly competition, but the motivation behind creating the show has always been to celebrate and support all of the incredible creativity in our state. We hope you all had an amazing time at the show this year!
