The award-winning projects include a poster design for the Texas Blueberry Festival, sponsored by the Nacogdoches Chamber of Commerce, and a public service advertising campaign to help shelter the homeless. In addition to the Addy awards, McBride received a cash prize and one of his entries will go to the District 10 advertising competition in Houston. Finalists in Houston are eligible for national recognition.
