The winners of The 2008 Communicator Awards
have been announced by the International Academy of the Visual Arts, and Sun
City Hilton Head’s SunSations Magazine has been selected to receive the Award
of Distinction for Print Media.
The Communicator Awards is an annual competition
honoring the best in advertising, corporate communications, public relations
and identity work for print, video, interactive and audio. This year’s
competition received more than 8,500 entries from companies and agencies of
all sizes, from across the US and around the world, making it the largest and
most competitive awards program honoring creative excellence for
communications professionals.
The Communicator Awards are judged and overseen by
the International Academy of the Visual Arts (IAVA), a 200+-member
organization of leading professionals from various disciplines of the visual
arts dedicated to embracing progress and the evolving nature of traditional
and interactive media. Current IAVA membership represents a "Who's Who" of
acclaimed media, advertising, and marketing firms including:
Condè Nast, Coach, Disney, Estee Lauder, Fry
Hammond Barr, HBO, Monster.com, MTV, Polo Ralph Lauren, Sotheby’s Institute of
Art, Victoria’s Secret, Wired, Yahoo!, and many others.

“The incredible quality and diversity of this
year’s entries reflected the rapidly changing media landscape and pushed the
limits of the medium; and the quality of the traditional work submitted was
again remarkable, noted Linda Day, Director of the IAVA. She added, “On behalf
of the entire Academy, we are honored to have judged the 14th Annual
Communicator Awards and we are proud to honor the best in creativity and
execution from the foremost communications professionals in the business”.”
“We are honored and thrilled that the magazine
received this national recognition and high regard from such a distinguished
organization”, stated Director of Communications, Daniel Baxter. And adds,
“The publication is truly a testament to the fine work and symbiotic community
involvement of the Community Association, the Communications Department and
the many resident volunteers that write, photograph and submit material to
help make this publication a beautiful information avenue showcasing the
wonderful and active lifestyle they have chosen to lead at Sun City Hilton
Head.”}
