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 Pele Awards, an American Advertising Awards District 13 Competition has been bringing our industry together for over 40 plus years.
Inspiration has a way of popping up at the worst times…but when it comes, you have to heed the call.
This year’s 2023 Pele Awards Competition honors the true creative spirit – and the people who unabashedly drop everything to capture the idea, nail down the concept, and transform an assignment into award-winning work.
