Winner Reels
2025-2026 American Advertising Awards
Winning an ADDY is no simple task. Many hours and individuals are behind each and every entry, but the competition can be tough! Awards are determined by the scoring parameters set by the National AAF Awards Program: Only 20-25% of all entries will receive a gold or silver award (with only 8-10% winning a Gold ADDY and 10-12% winning a Silver ADDY). All local Gold winners are automatically forwarded into the District tier of the competition, and then National tier.
