2024-2025 American Advertising Awards New Mexico Entry 

Professional Entries

Please note competition rules, categories and entry procedures for 2024-2025 American Advertising Awards have been modified. Additionally, 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. 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, 8100 Wyoming Blvd NE Ste M4-838, Albuquerque, NM 87113

We know you have questions. Please feel free to 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.

DEADLINE: Enter before January 22, 2025
