American Advertising Awards

Recognizing and rewarding creative excellence in advertising, the American Advertising Awards is the advertising industry’s largest competition, attracting nearly 35,000 entries every year.

Run by the American Advertising Federation (AAF) and now in its 64th year, the American Advertising Awards are unique in the world of award shows, thanks to its three stages: local, district and national. The CAF and 200+ other local Ad Clubs around the U.S. host the first stage, recognizing the very best in their local market. Local winners advance to the district (regional) stage. And district winners advance to the third and final stage, national, to compete to win an ADDY at the national level.
