Tampa, FL, August 01, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Each year Ad 2 Tampa Bay gathers a team from its membership of top young advertising professionals from agencies and in-house groups across Tampa Bay to work tirelessly on making the world a better place. Utilizing donated time, materials and media the team develops a full advertising campaign for little or no cost that is tailored to meet the needs of a selected non-profit organization. Now, Ad 2 Tampa Bay is calling on non-profit organizations in the Tampa Bay area to submit an application for their 2010-2011 Public Service Campaign. The call is open to all 501c3 organizations that are not religiously or politically based.

Last year's campaign was for the organization The Bolesta Center, a nonprofit organization headquartered in the Tampa Bay area and dedicated to teaching children who are deaf and hard of hearing to learn to listen and speak through the use of cochlear implants (high-powered hearing aids) in conjunction with ongoing Auditory-Verbal Therapy. The Bolesta Center benefited from over $200,000 in design and media donations; including billboards, broadcast time, web and publications.

The team, which included representatives from Clear Channel, AdPartners, Bayshore Solutions, ChappellRoberts and Pinstripe Marketing was pleased to have developed a successful campaign, but were even more excited when their work was awarded third place in the public service competition at the American Advertising Federation's National Conference.

The application is available on the Public Service page of the Ad 2 Tampa Bay website (www.ad2tampabay.org). Please e-mail completed applications to publicservice@ad2tampabay.org no later than August 27, 2010.
