About the American Advertising Awards
The American Advertising Awards are the advertising industry's largest and most representative competition, attracting more than 25,000 entries every year in local AAF Ad Club competitions. The mission of the American Advertising Awards is to recognize and reward the creative spirit of excellence in the art of advertising.
Conducted annually by the AAF Broward & Palm Beach (local chapter of the American Advertising Federation), This local American Advertising Awards is the first of a three-tier, national competition. Concurrently, across the country, local entrants vie to receive an ADDY Award—recognition as the very best in their markets. At the second tier, local ADDY winners compete against winners from other local clubs in one of 15 district competitions. District ADDY winners are then forwarded to the third tier, the national stage of the American Advertising Awards. Entry in your local competition is the first step toward winning a national ADDY.
Entering the American Advertising Awards supports the entire advertising industry, because the AAF and its local and district affiliates use the proceeds to enhance advertising through programs such as public service, internships, advocacy groups, advertising education, and consumer awareness. Selection of the most creative entry in each category is affected by a scoring process in which a panel of judges evaluates all creative dimensions of every entry. A Gold ADDY is recognition of the highest level of creative excellence and is judged to be superior to all other entries in the category. Entries that are also considered outstanding and worthy of recognition receive a Silver ADDY. The number of awards given in each category is determined by the judges, based on the relative quality of work in that category.

Membership has its perks. Join and support your local AAF Chapter.
Conducted by the American Advertising Federation District 4, the Angel Award Competition honors the very best in public service advertising. It combines two missions of the organization: to utilize industry expertise to address community issues, and to celebrate and honor advertising excellence. Entry is open to all advertising service providers, public service organizations, and special interest causes and groups located in Florida and the Caribbean. No organization membership is required.
One Entry Has Multiple Award Opportunities
The Angel Award competition features a unique entry format that eliminates the need to enter in numerous categories. This dramatically simplified structure means that you enter an entire campaign just once. The primary Angel Awards reward the campaign results and execution rather than artistic or creative concepts. But all of the individual creative elements are also in consideration for award recognition, so a single campaign entry may be awarded multiple Angels. Alternately, you may enter just a single piece of work to be judged on creative merit.
