Conducted annually by the American Advertising Federation (AAF), the local ADDY® Awards are the first of a three-tier, national competition. Concurrently, all across the country, local entrants vie for recognition as the very best in their markets. At the second tier, local winners compete against other winners in one of 14 District competitions. District winners are then forwarded to the third tier, the national ADDY® Awards competition. Entry in your local ADDY® competition is the first step toward winning a national ADDY®. Please note, you do not need to be a member of AAF in order to compete in the ADDY Awards.
