AAF Baltimore is excited to announce the Call for Entries for the 2025 American Advertising Awards, celebrating the most outstanding advertising work created in Maryland. The annual competition honors excellence across all media, including online, nontraditional, print, broadcast, and out-of-home advertising
The American Advertising Awards is the first level of a prestigious three-tier national competition and the advertising industry’s largest creative contest. Winning at the local level provides eligibility to advance to the District 2 competition, with the opportunity to progress to the National American Advertising Awards.
All entries must be received by January 17, 2025. A panel of industry-leading advertising creatives will judge the entries January 18-23, selecting winners from an anticipated 250 submissions.
Eligible entries must be new creative work produced within Maryland and published or aired between January 1 and December 31, 2024. College students are encouraged to submit their work in the competition’s student track.
AAF Baltimore will honor this year’s winners during a gala on March 6.
Winners at the local level will move on to compete in the District 2 American Advertising Awards, followed by the opportunity to compete nationally. National winners will be celebrated at the American Advertising Federation’s ADMERICA event.
As a proud chapter of the American Advertising Federation, AAF Baltimore fosters a community of advertising and media professionals. Proceeds from the American Advertising Awards support AAF Baltimore’s educational initiatives, public service projects, and advocacy efforts.
