ADDY® Awards

Attracting nearly 60,000 entries each year nationwide, the ADDY® awards have become the nation's largest and most comprehensive advertising competition. The ADDY® awards originated in the 4th District in 1960 and became a three-tiered National competition in 1968.

Sponsored by the AAF, the awards honor excellence in advertising and cultivate the highest creative standards in the industry.
Each fall, the competition begins with contests in the nation’s 200+ AAF member clubs, where entries must be submitted and judged to be eligible for the ADDY® process. Local winners proceed to 14 regional competitions, and those winners, to the national finals.

Every year's winners demonstrate the uniqueness of the ADDY® Awards because their work has not only received national honors, but has been recognized at local and regional levels as well.

Proceeds from the ADDY® Awards program on all levels of competition go back into the industry through the work of the AAF and its members, especially in the areas of advertising education and public service advertising.
