Why Enter?
First of all, why come out this year with nothing to show for it?
Second, the American Advertising Awards are the largest advertising awards program in the United States. Entry begins with your local AAF Dallas chapter. Renowned judges 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.
Lastly, this competition helps AAF Dallas keep our doors open all year round and continue the important work we do to improve and unify our local industry.
ENTRIES ARE CLOSED.

No Physical Entry Drop-Off
The judging of the 2023 American Advertising Awards will be all-virtual, meaning NO PHYSICAL ENTRIES will be required. Please note that this will mean you need to photograph entries so judges can see the intricacy of your work virtually. If you feel your work must absolutely be submitted physically, we can make arrangements with you so the judges can see it safely. Reach out to office@aafdallas.org with any questions.

The Suits Awards
AAF Dallas is excited to present the 2023 Suits Awards, selecting and honoring ambassadors of creative work who, in the past, have gone unrecognized during the Creative Awards Season.
They put in the work behind the great work in the advertising industry. These unsung heroes and heroines have toiled behind the scenes. We think it’s time we recognize those who support great creative.
Finalists for each category will be celebrated at the award show on March 2, 2023.
