The national Ovation Awards competition is designed to recognize outstanding accomplishments of the AAF's advertising chapters and to showcase the programs and projects that these members undertake each year. 



Welcome to the 2025-2026 Ovation Awards Competition!

The AAF's Ovation Awards recognizes local advertising chapters for their initiatives in Club Operations, Cornerstone Initiatives & Events, Membership Development & Communications, Programs, and Public Service. The competition was established to honor the significant contributions of the AAF network of professional advertising chapters and to encourage excellence in areas of club management that contribute to the strength of the AAF as an organization.

We'll celebrate this year's Ovation Awards winners and recognize the absolute best of our grassroots network during ADMERICA. Festivities include the annual Council of Governors parade, winners of our Ovation Awards, Governor-of-the-Year, and recipients of the Betty Riehl Excellence in Service Award, Pat Martin Excellence in District Service Award, Lee-Douthit-Levine Perseverance Award, and Chic Davis Memorial Award.
