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.
****WE ARE EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS. PLEASE SELECT PAYMENT WITH A "CHECK" AND WE WILL INVOICE YOU LATER.****

Entry Deadline - January 13
We highly recommend you enter your work as soon as possible, so our team can have a chance to review your work and troubleshoot any questions you might have. January 13th is the firm deadline, there will be no extensions.
PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING:
Physical Entries:
We are requiring BOTH digital and physical entries this year for the local show. Judging will be handled virtually. This means that it is imperative that you submit your work correctly in the virtual space, to give remote judges the best opportunity to score it. If you are a Gold or Silver ADDY recipient, you will be asked to have that work dropped off for Regional forwarding immediately following the show.
If you have any additional questions, please contact director@adclubstlouis.org.
