Local Tier Entries Open Today

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Advertising Federation (AAF), the "Unifying Voice for Advertising," announced today the launch of the local tier of the 2022-2023 American Advertising Awards. The three-tiered competition is widely recognized as the largest and most representative industry competition and is often a lens offering insights to work that may also perform well in other high profile creative awards shows.

Beginning today, local entrants can compete to receive an ADDY Award – recognition as the very best work in their respective markets. Winners from the 120 local tier competitions advance to the second, District Level. Those District winners then advance to the final stage, with national winners announced at the American Advertising Awards National Gala, to be held in St. Louis, MO on June 2, 2023.

Last year, more than 25,000 entries were received, with an elite 68 receiving a National Gold ADDY Award. Best of Show went to BooneOakley and StarMed for the "Don't Get Vaccinated" outdoor campaign for Wilmore Funeral Home.

"The mission of the American Advertising Awards is to recognize and reward the creative spirit of excellence in the art of advertising," said Dawn Reeves, EVP, Club Services, Membership & Programs at AAF, adding, "Entering the American Advertising Awards supports the entire advertising industry as proceeds are used to enhance advertising through public service, internships, advocacy groups, advertising education and consumer awareness."
