The American Advertising Awards is a celebration of the best of the best in American advertising at every level. Our local competition is the first of a three-tier national competition that awards local entrants for superior creative that aired or published between January 1st and December 31st of 2021.
This year, we received over 100 professional entries from work across the valley. All entries were judged virtually by advertising and marketing professionals from across the western side of the United States.
Local gold winners will advance to the second tier of the competition in one of 15 regional district competitions. District winners are then forwarded to the national competition and winners of that competition are announced each June at American Advertising Federations Admerica National Conference.
Thank you to all the companies who submitted to this year’s awards competition.
