Judging for the American Advertising Awards will be conducted 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.

Please carefully follow all online submission guidelines provided within the entry system, to ensure that your work is properly represented during all three tiers of the American Advertising Awards competition.

Welcome to the AAF Reno American Advertising Awards!

Guidelines for Submissions

Please submit your art online as a PDF as all entries will be judged online this year. Feel free to snap a photo or make a video of your entry if that would benefit the piece. 

Professional Rules

Student Rules

We are excited to continue our two LOCAL only award categories this year:

Best Work That Never Ran: So much great work was either created as spec or for whatever reason didn't run. We've all had clients change their minds but that doesn't mean the work doesn't warrant recognition! Note this award is local only, which means a win here will not be forwarded to the District Competition, but will give you bragging rights.

Mosaic Award. The Mosaic Award best exemplifies the spirit of diversity and inclusion by demonstrating an understanding of and sensitivity to the needs, concerns, and buying practices of multicultural audiences.

We will also continue to offer 3 Judges Choice awards, with each judge getting full discretion to choose their favorite entry in the competition.

For questions about submissions and payments, please contact Linda Ramos at ljramos@sbcglobal.net or 775-772-5262.

You can pay online or mail your check to:
