The three-tiered competition begins locally with the Philly Ad Club and with the AAF’s 200+ member clubs. The local gold winners proceed to one of 14 districts competitions. District winners then advance to compete for a national ADDY award.

Sponsored by the American Advertising Federation, the ADDY Awards Competition exemplifies the industry’s largest and toughest competition for creative talent. With over 60,000 entries submitted annually, the awards are designed to ignite excellence and cultivate the highest standards in the art of advertising.
