The American Advertising Awards, home of the ADDY® Award, is one of the industry’s largest creative competitions, attracting nearly 35,000 professional and student entries each year in competitions offered through local AAF clubs. The mission of the American Advertising Awards is to recognize and reward the creative spirit of excellence in advertising.
Conducted annually by the American Advertising Federation (AAF), the local Ad Club phase is the first of a three-tier national competition. Concurrently, all across the country, local entrants vie to win ADDY Awards – recognition as the very best in their markets. At the second tier, local ADDY winners compete against winners from other local clubs in one of 15 district competitions. District ADDY winners are then forwarded to the third tier, the national stage of the American Advertising Awards.
Entering the American Advertising Awards supports the entire advertising industry, because the AAF uses the proceeds to enhance advertising through programs such as public service, internships, advocacy groups, advertising education, and consumer awareness.
That’s right AAF friends! It’s that time of year again when we collect all of our best work, package it up, and submit it on over to be judged by the American Advertising Awards.
