Park Tool Recognized with Two 2011 ADDY® Awards

Park Tool, the bicycling industry’s most revered tool brand, earned “Judge’s Choice” and “Gold” at the ADDY® Advertising Awards competition held Saturday, February 5 in St. Cloud, MN. The awards recognized outstanding work in photography for Park Tool’s “Blue is” ad campaign.

The American Advertising Federation Minnesota is the first tier of the competition and winning entries will now move on to a district competition to be judged in March. Those winners will go on to the American Advertising Federation’s national competition held in June.
