According to the press release, The ADDY Awards is the world’s largest creative advertising competition. Conducted annually by the AAF, the local ADDY Awards is the first of a three-tier, national competition. At the second tier, local winners compete against other winners in one of 14 District competitions.
District winners are then forwarded to the third tier, the national ADDY Awards competition. Selection of the most creative entry in each category is effected by a scoring process in which a panel of judges evaluates all creative dimensions of every entry.
In each category, a Gold ADDY is recognition of the highest level of creative excellence and is judged to be superior to all other entries in the competition.
