Candice Drakeford takes a deep dive into the art and graphic design behind our vintage restaurant ads, breaking down the nostalgia, the craft, and the storytelling baked into every layout.

Today we use Instagram and social media to communicate a vibe. Back then these ads were the vibe, the only window into a brand’s personality, mood, and message.

Step back into the era when design had to do all the talking.

The winners are here! New York Festivals Health Awards is proud to celebrate the 2025 award-winning work and the teams whose healthy obsession pushed every detail to the finish line.

After scores were tallied by our Executive Jury, we recognized the ideas and craft that rose above. This season’s Call for Entry campaign, “Rewarding Healthy Obsession,” created by Adam Hessel, Chief Creative Officer at The Bloc, captured the passion and relentless commitment behind great work. That spirit carried through the judging, where our Executive Jury awarded a Grand Award in both Health & Wellness and Pharma, along with 9 Gold, 13 Silver, and 12 Bronze Towers.

A standout trend this year was humor. Nearly one-third of all winning work used levity to engage audiences and deliver healthcare messaging in fresh, memorable ways.
