What are the ADDY Awards?

Be a part of something huge. The best of the best. The ADDY® Awards are the world’s largest advertising competition, awarding creative excellence for more than 40 years. It’s a true honor to receive an award, regardless of the level. Each year some 60,000 entries are received. This competition recognizes advertising from all types of media, creative sizes, and entrants from anywhere in the world. It’s the only creative award program administered by the ad industry for the ad industry.

These entries begin at the local level; AAF Asheville will host its first competition in January 2010. Gold ADDY Award winners from our competition will proceed to District level; winners there go to national competition. There are both professional and student entries. This is our chance to shine; don’t miss this competition.

The ADDY Award committee needs you! Join the AAFA and create Asheville’s ADDY competition and party. Planning has already started and will continue over the summer and fall. Many, many volunteers are needed during January and February, when the annual competition and awards ceremony take place.
