Los Angeles American Advertising Awards

About the American Advertising Awards

The American Advertising Awards are the advertising industry’s largest and most representative creative competition, recognizing creative excellence in the art of advertising with over 40,000 entries each year from around the country.


Representing the broadest creative spirit of advertising by recognizing all forms of advertising; in all varieties of media; created by all sizes and types of entrants; and from all over the country. ADDY Award winners truly represent the best creative the industry has to offer.


With the American Advertising Awards, it is the size of the idea that matters most, not the size of the organization that created the work, nor the size of the budget behind it. This distinction elevates the American Advertising Awards over virtually every other advertising competition.

AAF Los Angeles is partnering with AdRelief LA and Ghetto Film School to donate a portion of profits from LA entry fees, award show ticket sales, and sponsorships to support the work they do for future and current advertising & creative professionals!
