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.
THE ROAD TO EGOTA STARTS HERE
In advertising, winning an ADDY is the equivalent of winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar or Tony. So, we’re adding our A to the EGOT where it rightfully belongs. That means soon you can be just as close to EGOTA as DiCaprio. Who’s the king of the world now?
Come show off your talents and give your work a chance to find the spotlight it deserves! The Awards arrives February 18, 2023 at The Uptown Theatre, 3700 Broadway. Kansas City, MO 64111
