Van Zandt had the honor in February of 2019 to join two other phenomenal Creative Directors – to judge the best of Idaho and the surrounding area’s advertising. It was a long two-day arduous process going over the thousands of marketing entries – covering every medium once can imagine, but it was well worth the time and the effort. Van Zandt was impressed with all the awesome work coming out of the Pacific North West, by the stunning beauty of Idaho, and by the most gracious friendliness and hospitality of the Rockies IAF and all the other Idahoan’s.
