About the American Advertising Awards

The AdClub Cincinnati local award competition is the first step of the three-tier creative competition of the American Advertising Awards. Each year, over 35,000 entries are submitted annually from over 160 clubs throughout the United States. One must enter the local competition to be considered for a District or National award. All local GOLD winners are automatically submitted to the District competition at no cost to the entry holder. SILVER winners can also submit their work to the District Competition for an additional fee. The National American Advertising Awards are distributed at the National Admerica Conference in June.
