American Advertising Awards

Who will win an ADDY?

Join us for an evening celebration of our local talents in marketing, advertising, and design. With 130+ entries we are excited to see who will be winning an ADDY for work created during the year 2023!

This year's theme: Nostalgia through the decades

It's always fun to play on a theme and see how our community dresses up for the occasion. This year’s theme is Nostalgia through the decades. We often see past trends and styles cycle their way back through. It feels especially present today with many TV shows reprising or being remade, past toys and games making a comeback (we see you Barbie - one of the biggest marketing campaigns of 2023), past fashions inspiring looks today, and more. We invite you to pick the decade you’re most inspired by and show off your take.
