The world’s largest advertising competition

With over 600,000 entries annually, the ADDY Awards represent the true spirit of creative excellence, recognizing all forms of advertising in all types of media from entrants at all levels, anywhere in the world. The American Advertising Federation, a not-for-profit industry association, conducts the ADDY Awards through its 200 advertising clubs (like the Atlanta Ad Club) and 15 districts. It is the only creative awards program administered by the advertising industry for the industry.

The competition begins at the local level with the Atlanta Ad Club, from which local winners proceed to a regional competition, and those winners proceed to the national finals.
