Judging may be hosted virtually. Please check with your local Chapter to verify requirements of physical entries. Requirement of physical entry submissions is at the discretion of the local AAF Chapter.

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.

2022-2023 American Advertising Awards New Mexico Entry 

Professional Entries  | Student Entries

The deadline as been extended. All entries must be entered online no later than 4 pm on Friday, February 3, 2023

Due to ongoing concerns about COVID-19, the American Advertising Awards competition rules, categories and entry procedures for 2022-2023 have been modified. Additionally, several changes apply to this year's American Advertising Awards New Mexico entry and judging:

  • Judging will be done remotely. We have chosen experienced and talented judges who are prepared to take the time to judge all pieces remotely. Because all pieces will be judged remotely, we strongly suggest that entrants submit photos of pieces so judges might get a feel for the function of the pieces. All three tiers of the competition will be judged online and remotely.
  • No physical entries will be accepted. AAF has suggested that we refrain from taking physical entries this year to minimize risk. All entries must be submitted online. 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. All three tiers of the competition will be judged online and remotely. No physical entries will be accepted at any level.
  • Payments may be made online, however, if entrants would like to submit a check for payment, please note that when entering and mailing checks to AAFNM, 12231 Academy Rd. NE, #301-169, Albuquerque, NM 87111

We know you have questions. Please feel free to call 505.393.1689 or email aafnm@aafnm.org with any questions. We understand that this year is different but rest assured that judging and entry will be valid and fair. We are happy to answer any questions that you have about the process.

EARLY BIRD ENTRY: Enter before 2 pm on January 13, 2023, and receive $5 off per entry

  5. Because physical entries will not be taken this year, please include photos, scans, PDFs, or digital files of any printed pieces so judges may accurately understand the structure of your piece.
