AMERICAN ADVERTISING AWARDS

The industry’s most widely recognized reward for the creative spirit and advertising excellence at the local, regional and national level.

What is the ADDY?

The American Advertising Awards is the industry’s largest and most representative competition, which attracts nearly 35,000 submissions yearly through locally-operated AAF club contests. ADDY Awards are broken up into a three-tiered competition beginning with a local club contest. Local winners move on to a second phase at the district level, competing among 17 AAF clubs spanning Florida and the Caribbean, before advancing to a final tier -- the national contest.

AAF Silver Awards

Honoring our industry’s
boldest leaders.

The AAF Silver Medal Award Program was established in 1959 to recognize professionals who are outstanding contributors to advertising and who have actively furthered the industry’s standards, creative excellence and responsibility in areas of social concern. Clubs across the country award this national honor -- equivalent to a lifetime achievement award -- to extraordinary members of the local advertising community.
