American Advertising Award Details
The American Advertising Federation recognizes the best-of-the-best in advertising.
Three-Tier Competition
The American Advertising Awards are unique among advertising creative competitions. It is the only competition that includes three arduous levels of competition:
- Entries are first judged at the local level through competitions organized by nearly 200 ad clubs affiliated with the AAF.
- Winners from the local level advance to the second level of judging and participate in one of 15 district competitions.
- After district winners are selected, they advance to the third level of judging – the national finals.
AAA winners truly represent the best of the best. With the American Advertising Awards, it is the size of the idea that matters most, not the size of the organization that created the work, nor the size of the budget behind it. This distinction elevates the American Advertising Award from virtually every other advertising competition.
