ADDY AWARDS
The industry’s most widely recognized reward for the creative spirit and advertising excellence at the local, regional and national level.
You’re invited to a fun night at a Masquerade Party on Feb. 24th, 2024.
What is the ADDY?
The American Advertising Awards is the industry’s largest and most representative competition, which attracts nearly 35,000 submissions yearly through locally-operated AAF club contests. ADDY Awards are broken up into a three-tiered competition beginning with a local club contest. Local winners move on to a second phase at the district level, competing among 17 AAF clubs spanning Florida and the Caribbean, before advancing to a final tier -- the national contest.

Past recipients have developed diversity programs and utilized advanced marketing and business techniques to not only improve the bottom line, but secure an important role in the ever-evolving corporate space.
Angel Award
Rewarding the best of
doing good.
The Angel Award Competition, conducted by AAF District 4, honors the very best in public service advertising. It’s a blend of the organization’s two missions: to utilize industry expertise to address community issues and to celebrate and honor advertising excellence. No organization membership is required, and entry is open to all advertising service providers, public service organizations, special interest causes and groups located in Florida and the Caribbean.
AAF Silver Awards
Honoring our industry’s
boldest leaders.
The AAF Silver Medal Award Program was established in 1959 to recognize professionals who are outstanding contributors to advertising and who have actively furthered the industry’s standards, creative excellence and responsibility in areas of social concern. Clubs across the country award this national honor -- equivalent to a lifetime achievement award -- to extraordinary members of the local advertising community.
