Buffalo's 2002-03 basketball campaign and its 2002 football season ticket brochure both received top honors among all entries in their respective categories. Buffalo's 2002-03 men's basketball poster took another gold while its women's basketball poster won bronze. Buffalo's final award was another bronze in the football commercial category.

"I was delighted to learn that our athletics marketing team was recognized at the national level," said John Lambert, UB Associate Athletic Director of External Relations. "The Division of Athletics is very fortunate to be surrounded by a dedicated and highly-creative staff who is supported through the outstanding efforts of our University Publications team. In addition, the support received through Tonawanda-based firm Ent/Gates Productions has been invaluable in the development of our television spots."
