The American Advertising Awards Seattle
Our local competition recognizes the area’s best of the best - and it’s a pretty great party, too. The winners of these prestigious trophies go on to compete regionally, and the best then vie in the national competition. So yeah, an ADDY is kind of a big deal.
ANNOUNCING THE CALL FOR ENTRIES!
WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING ENTRIES FOR THE 2024 AMERICAN ADVERTISING AWARDS SEATTLE
This competition offers so many relevant categories that you may not be aware of, or even expect.
Essentially, if you created work that people saw, it could probably be considered for an ADDY.
Websites, songs, VR experiences, illustrations, print ads—freaking TikTok videos—it’s all there.

RULES AND CATEGORIES
Homework time, but fun. Well, kind of, but it’s worth it.
Winning an Addy doesn’t end with Seattle…
Your ADDY could win at the District XI competition in April!
If you win a Gold or Silver Seattle ADDY (congratulations!) your entry automatically advances.
If you then win Gold at District (bam) your entry automatically advances to National competition.
If you win Silver at District (woo hoo) you can still pay a nominal fee to have your entry considered at the National competition. It’s definitely worth it: Many district Silver winners have gone on to win Gold at Nationals! The ADDY chair will be in touch to ask if you want your entry included.
SPONSORS
