It’s been a year. Through it all, our resilient ad peeps have made it work, through remote shoots and endless zoom meetings, socially-distanced concepting sessions and beyond. To reward those who’ve figured out a way, no matter what. In true advertising fashion, we’ve spared no expense to overthink ways in which we can deliver the absolute #SafestADDYSEver. The ADDY trophies have begun their quarantine in preparation for awards season. They will be undergoing rigorous sanitizing protocols and temperature checks, and will be kept at a safe distance away from each other. All to make sure they make it safe and sound to your deserving hands.⠀

The 2021 American Advertising Awards competition has officially begun in Dallas.
The American Advertising Awards are the largest advertising awards program in the United States that celebrates creativity and excellence in advertising. Entry into the American Advertising Awards begins with your local AAF chapter like AAF Dallas. A jury of advertising peers from around the nation will judge the local competition which will determine who will receive the honor of Gold, Silver and Bronze ADDY Awards. Only the best work will then move on to the district level, then national level for the opportunity to elevate your agency as one of the best in the industry. This competition helps AAF Dallas keep our doors open all year round and continue the important work we do to improve and unify our industry.
2021 Information: We will do our best to keep some aspects of the American Advertising Awards the same this year, but due to COVID-19 we will be implementing some inevitable changes. We will not be hosting an in-person event for the 2021 American Advertising Awards Gala; we will be hosting an experience on March 11, 2021. It is going to be dope.
