In what judges described as one of the most culturally defined bodies of work they had ever judged and an impressive show of creative energy, elevated storytelling, and social consciousness, a wide array of creative companies have risen to take coveted awards in the 2025 Caribbean Advertising Awards.
The American Advertising Awards is the advertising industry’s most comprehensive and prestigious competition recognizing creative excellence in advertising. 42 companies from the Caribbean submitted more than 435 entries to be judged as the top creative executions for 2024 in the first tier of the competition which is Caribbean wide. Multiple entries from the US Virgin Islands were awarded.
MLB Creative was awarded a silver medal in the highly competitive category of Logo Design for their Pets With Wings logo.
NorthSouth Net, publishers of VISIT USVI was awarded a Silver for the USVI VISIT publication and a Gold award for their St. Maarten publication.
For the first time in many years, creative work from USVI students was entered in the Student Competition. Montessori student Mariana Brunt received a Silver award for her WaterFlow Cistern Monitoring website, for which she collaborated with her brother, Santiago Brunt. Judges complement the user experience saying it was better than some of the professional websites. They enjoyed the motion bubbles and the organic shapes.
The Caribbean competition is the first leg in a 3-tier awards process and one of the largest competitions in the US and Caribbean. Winners from AAF-Caribbean will compete with winners from Florida at the District Competition with winners being announced in May at the District 4 Annual Meeting and AAA Gala presentation. The third and final tier of the competition is National that includes winners from 15-multi-state districts to compete as finalists in the American Advertising Awards competition.
