AAA Career AwardsIvan L. Preston Outstanding Contribution to Research Award - Winners The Ivan L. Preston Outstanding Contribution to Research on Advertising Award is designed to honor an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the discipline of advertising through a systematic and sustained program of published research. The award carries a $1,000 prize. This award will be given only to active AAA members for exemplary research on advertising. While research is a factor in other awards, this is the Academy’s top research award, and as such the threshold for honoring a nominee is high. Factors that will be considered for this award include, (1) the systematic and sustained nature of research across 20 years or more, (2) the volume of research publications during that time, (3) the quality of that research, and (4) its overall impact on the field. In addition, (5) only research clearly involving or affecting advertising and related communications methods (e.g., public relations, direct marketing, sales promotion) will be considered, and (6) to be eligible only AAA members who are actively involved will be considered, i.e., they’ve done significantly more than just pay annual dues. Distinguished Service Award - Winners The Distinguished Service Award is given to individuals who have rendered distinguished service to the Academy organization and/or advertising education, going beyond the expectations or requirements of their jobs. Being an officer, editor, or committee chair is deemed part of a faculty members’ job. The person should be a champion of advertising education, active in providing opportunities for the professional development of students and faculty, and someone who unselfishly performs this meritorious service. One need not be a member of the AAA to be considered for this award. Billy I. Ross Advertising Education Award - Winners The Billy I. Ross Advertising Education Award is to recognize innovative work that advances the field of advertising education.
