American Advertising Awards
SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THE 2016-2017 CINCINNADDYS.
The American Advertising Awards, aka the ADDYs, is a three-tier, national competition that attracts over 40,000 entries annually. But, don't let the name fool you! It's not just about advertising.
The ADDYs are for anyone using creative ideas for the purpose of promotion.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Last year, there was a complete overhaul of the category structure for the ADDYs, so this year, very little has changed. Any type of work that was eligible in years past is still eligible this year.
