American Advertising Awards 2024
The American Advertising Awards (AAAs) stand as the most distinguished competition in the advertising industry, with over 25,000 entries each year from local AAF Ad Clubs across the nation. This esteemed event aims to recognize and celebrate excellence in the art of advertising.
How it Works
The American Advertising Awards (AAAs) operate as a three-tiered competition. At the Local Stage, entries from our Baltimore club will vie for the prestigious ADDY Awards, marking the first step toward national recognition. Winners from this local competition will advance to the District Stage, where they will compete in one of 15 district competitions, showcasing their work against top entries from other regions. The final stage is the National Stage, where district winners will compete at the national level, and the most exceptional entries are honored.
​
Participation in the AAAs supports the broader advertising community by funding vital programs such as public service initiatives, internships, advocacy efforts, and educational opportunities.
​
Entries are meticulously evaluated by a panel of judges who assess every creative aspect of each submission. A Gold ADDY signifies the highest level of creative excellence, while a Silver ADDY acknowledges outstanding work of significant merit.​
Important Dates
Local entries for the 2024 American Advertising Awards will open in October.
We encourage all local advertising professionals and students to prepare their submissions and take part in this prestigious competition.
