American Advertising Federation ADDY Awards Gala
March, 2005: Date and location for the ADDY Gala to be announced soon.
The ADDY® Awards are the advertising industry's largest and most representative competition, recognizing creative excellence and the very best advertising worldwide. Sponsored by the American Advertising Federation, the ADDY® Awards represent the true creative spirit of advertising by recognizing all forms of advertising, from all types of media, created by all sizes and types of entrants, from anywhere in the world. Last year, the addition of an international component expanded the ADDY® Awards from a national program into a worldwide competition with over 60,000 total entries. Local entries of the Ad Club of the Virgin Islands are judged and winners from over 200 local clubs affiliated with the AAF advance to 14 regional competitions. The Ad Club winners advance to the Fourth District. Regional winners advance to the national/international finals. ADDY Award winners represent "the best of the best of the best." This distinction truly separates the ADDY Awards from virtually every other advertising competition.
