Sun Standout Awards 2024
The Las Vegas Sun's Standout Awards is a black-tie event that honors local student athletes and coaches, celebrating both nationally recognized figures and those behind the scenes, such as administrators and support staff.
My Role
In branding this annual awards event, I incorporate the Las Vegas Sun brand with a sporty look for print and digital collateral while collaborating with writers to ensure the award show slides align smoothly with the script.
