Nick, who won an Addy Gold Award for best ad industry self-promotion website said, "It’s kind of weird, the award wasn’t for my photography, it was for the unique way I display it. I was up against some of the top ad and interactive agencies in town." His entry will move on to the district competition, then hopefully to national.
