2021 American Advertising Awards
Submissions are now live for the 2021 American Advertising Awards. The American Advertising Awards is one of the industry’s largest creative competitions, attracting nearly 35,000 professional and student entries each year through competitions offered through local AAF clubs. The mission of the American Advertising Awards is to recognize and reward the creative spirit of excellence in advertising. This year, all submissions and the awards will be submitted and announced virtually. No physical drop off’s will be required this year, every submission will be entered and judged virtually.
Conducted annually by the American Advertising Federation (AAF), the local Ad Club phase is the first of a three-tier, national competition. Concurrently, across the country, local entrants vie to win AAF Awards – recognition as the very best in their markets. At the second tier, local AAF Award winners compete against winners from other local clubs in one of 15 district competitions. District AAF Award winners are then forwarded to the third tier, the national stage of the American Advertising Awards. Entry into the Desert Advertising Federation competition is the first step toward winning national AAF Awards.
All silver and gold winners receive a trophy!
