What Are The ADDY Awards?

There are only a few who make the A-List … they are the ADDY Award Winners.

These awards honor the best in local advertising and cultivate the highest creative standards in the industry. Awarded by the American Advertising Federation, the ADDY® Awards are the nation's largest advertising competition — over 60,000 entries. Local entries are judged by a distinguished panel of advertising creatives from outside our market. Local winners proceed to the District and, potentially, to National competitions.

Without shining examples, we cannot fully grasp what advertising excellence really is. That's why AdFed holds the Annual Gainesville ADDY Awards Banquet every February.

We can't have a Gala Event without those wonderful entries, so plan to enter for the 2008 ADDYs! Call-For-Entries for the next competition will be distributed and will be available during the month of December and early January. Student Entries welcome!
