ADDY® Awards & Student ADDYs
It’s time again for the world’s largest advertising competition, the ADDY® Awards. Each year top creatives across the country enter their best work in the local ADDY’s for a chance to advance to the district and national level.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, February 7 at the historic Saenger Theater where we will celebrate creative excellence in the Mobile Bay area with this year’s ADDY® Awards Gala.

Deadlines
After preparing your entries as outlined in the guide above, please deliver your entries to the Press Register on Friday, December 19, 2008 between 3pm and 6pm for the early deadline. If you need a few extra days, bring your entries on Friday, January 2, 2009 between 3pm and 6pm for the late deadline. Be sure your entries are prepared exactly as specified in order to be eligible.
ADDY committee members will be available to accept entries in the lobby of the Press Register on the dates listed above. Please call 219-5512 to schedule an appointment if delivering your entries on any other date.
Entries cannot be accepted after the late entry deadline of 6pm on Friday, January 2.
Remember, entries are not complete unless they include all of the following:
· Printed manifest for each entry
· A jpeg or PDF of each piece on a disc
· 2 printed copies or discs of each submission
Eligibility
In order to be eligible for this year’s ADDY’s, all work must have first appeared in the media between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008. All work must have been the result of paid creative and placed media services, with the exception of Public Service Advertising, Advertising for the Arts, or Advertising Self Promotion. All work should be entered in the local DMA that the work was created in, not necessarily where the work ran.
Please note: Work cannot be entered in multiple local ADDY shows. In the event that a client also has a local AAF affiliate club in their market, the work should be entered in the ADDY® Awards at the location where it was created.

I’m ready to enter!
The American Advertising Federation (AAF) ADDY Online Entry & Judging Software was created to ease the entry process. You must first register with the site as either “I am a professional” or “I am a student” before continuing. You will be asked to enter your email address and create a password.
Even if you have entered in previous years, you still need to register with the site before completing your entries.
Remember to follow the Rules and Regulations closely. To download a copy, click here. Don’t forget to credit the members of your creative team who worked on each project to ensure their names will appear correctly in any ADDY publications.
