ATLANTA Two students from the Virginia Commonwealth University Ad Center earned best of show honors Friday night at the 2001-02 Richmond Show.

First-year student copywriters Brett Landry and William Burks Spencer wrote a campaign titled “Homeless. Please Help.” The outdoor effort, entered in the public service category, consisted of copy roughly inked on eight large sheets of torn cardboard. A significant part of the effort required homeless people to hold the work on strategically chosen street corners.
