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 American Advertising Awards celebrate and reward the creative spirit of excellence in the art of advertising amongst both professionals and students. In addition, the Great Lakes Bay's 2023 Treasure at the Temple Awards will honor the creative work produced in our market in 2022.
Entries will be judged by three creative and marketing professionals from around the country. If an entry is selected to receive an award, they will be notified via email. On the Night of the Awards Show, the winners will learn if they have earned a SILVER or GOLD American Advertising Award.
Conducted annually by American Advertising Federation (AAF), our local Award show is the first of a three-tiered, national competition. Entry into our local competition is your first step towards winning a National ADDY trophy. The Student Division is also a three-tiered national competition. In conjunction with the professional competition, the Student American Advertising Awards recognizes and rewards excellence by students.
