Due to ongoing concerns about COVID-19, the American Advertising Awards competition rules, categories and entry procedures for 2022-2023 have been modified to allow for the possibility of remote online judging.

In some categories, entrants are allowed and/or required to upload additional digital examples of an entry. This is intended to provide more appropriate content for the judges, should a virtual judging solution be necessary. For most categories, there has been no change from prior competition years.

Please carefully follow all online submission guidelines provided within the entry system, in order to ensure that your work is properly represented during all three tiers of the American Advertising Awards competition.

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. This coming year the national conference will take place in St. Louis.
