Dear Students,

THe game seazon of American Advertising Awards is around the corner again. We wanted to make sure you had all the information you needed for this year’s ADDY entries. Here is the link to the student rules and categories.

https://www.aaf.org/common/Uploaded%20files/AmAdAwards/AmAdAwards-Student-Rules-2022.pdf

AAF-RGV local ADDY club increased the entry fee by $1 so that the club can advance gold student award winning entries to the District 10 regional competition after the local competition. So, this year each entry will be $27 for either a single entry or a campaign.

Due to the pandemic, all entries will be accepted through an online submission process only and no physical print copies are required. Judging will be done virtually, so please keep in mind file size – really large high resolution files are hard for the judges. 

For the magazines or multiple page publications such as book design or brochure design, please submit these using a link to issuu.com (free for the students). This is such an elegant way to view the magazine and it keeps it in context – spreads. 

For the UI/UX designs… keep in mind, again, that the judging will be virtual, so a video of the pages along with a .pdf helps the judges really see the design in action.

Also, all of the student (and professional) entries are available to view at
https://addys-aaf-rgv.squarespace.com/

The entry site can be found at:

Best,
Ping Xu
