7:30 AWARDS CEREMONY

Grab your seat and cross your fingers - time to find out who will be taking home an ADDY! The awards ceremony is where we announce the winners in all of the categories, both student and professional, and invite the winners up to accept their awards. We'll also honor one individual with the Silver Medal award, recognizing career achievement in advertising. Finally, the ceremony culminates with the announcement of the special awards for the best of the best in both Student and Professional works, including Best of Show.

DRESS THE PART - IT's a whiteout!

Without art and copy, the sheet is white. Advertising brings the color. Let's celebrate that negative space at the ADDYs by dressing in, you guessed it, ALL WHITE. Get Euro, techno-inspired or avant garde. Accessorize with wigs, crazy hats, goggles, you name it. Be creative. The more [white] out-there, the better!

To help you find you the perfect ensemble, check out the inspiration gallery.

PHOTO BOOTH

Once again, Adventure™ Studios will be on-site taking photos of the winners, the groups, the companies, the fun people....well, everyone! After the awards ceremony, the social will continue and attendees are invited to hop in front of the camera and strike a pose. All photos will be posted to the ADDY website soon after the event.

About

The ADDY® Awards are the advertising industry’s largest and most representative competition, attracting over 50,000 entries every year in local ADDY competitions. The mission of the ADDY competition is to recognize and reward creative excellence in the art of advertising.

Conducted annually by the American Advertising Federation (AAF), our local ADDY Awards is the first of a three-tier, national competition. Concurrently, all across the country, local entrants vie for recognition as the very best in their markets. At the second tier, local winners compete against other winners in one of 14 District competitions. District winners are then forwarded to the third tier, the national ADDY Awards competition. Entry in this local ADDY competition is the first step toward winning a national ADDY.

Entering the ADDY competition supports our entire industry, because the AAF and its local and district affiliates use the proceeds to enhance advertising through programs such as public service, internships, advocacy groups, advertising education, and consumer awareness.

Selection of the most creative entries is effected by a scoring process in which a panel of judges evaluates all creative dimensions of every entry. A Gold ADDY® Award is recognition of the highest level of creative excellence and is judged to be superior to all other entries in the competition. Entries that are also considered outstanding and worthy of recognition receive a Silver ADDY® Award. The number of awards given in each category is determined by the judges, based on the relative quality of work in that category.

The Student ADDY Awards is also a three-tier national competition, which is sponsored by the AAF and National Ad 2. Occurring in conjunction with the prestigious ADDY Awards, the Student ADDY Awards recognize and reward creative excellence by students.
