The American Advertising Awards is the advertising industry’s largest and most representative competition, attracting over 40,000 entries every year in local AAF Club competitions. The mission of the American Advertising Awards is to recognize and reward the creative spirit of excellence in the art of advertising.
The New Mexico Advertising Awards is New Mexico’s annual competition. Entrants from across the state vie to win ADDY Awards – recognition as the very best in our market. Winners move on to the District competition and then on to the national competition. Entering the New Mexico Advertising Awards supports the entire advertising industry because the AAF and its local and district affiliates use the proceeds to enhance advertising through programs such as public service, internships, advocacy groups, advertising education, and consumer awareness.
Join us for an exciting celebration of creativity and innovation at the 2024 New Mexico Advertising Awards! Prepare to be inspired by the best and brightest in the advertising industry as they showcase their outstanding work. From captivating commercials to eye-catching print campaigns, this event is a must-attend for anyone passionate about advertising.
This year, the awards ceremony will return to an evening reception and plated dinner. We encourage all attendees to dress in their most fabulous attire as we celebrate the theme of “Advertising Over the Decades,” with a focus on the iconic styles and trends of the 80s and 90s.
Don’t miss this opportunity to network with industry professionals, make connections, and celebrate excellence in New Mexico advertising.. Mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable evening of recognition and inspiration!
We get it—the end of the year is busy! It just takes a few minutes a month to set aside your best work as possible American Advertising Award entries.
There are three deadlines for early birds, right-on-time birds, and better-late-than-never birds, too.
Early bird: Wednesday, December 20, 2023
Right on time: Friday, January 19, 2024
Better late than never: Weds, January 24, 2024
Consult the category list to find where your work should compete. The list is maintained AAF National and updated yearly.
Work entered must have first appeared between January 1 and December 31, 2023, and be entered in the market where it was created.
Since entries will be judged virtually at the local level this year, there is no need to prepare and submit physical entries. That said, it will be even more important to upload great photos and videos, where allowable. For nearly all entries, you are able to upload five files/images and a video.
Payments may be made online, however, if entrants would like to submit a check for payment, please note that when entering and mailing checks to AAFNM, 8100 Wyoming Blvd NE Ste M4-838, Albuquerque, NM 87113

Right on time: Friday, January 19, 2024
Better late than never: Weds., January 24, 2024
Each year the committee invites 3-4 industry professionals to participate as Judges. The committee strives to invite judges with a variety of backgrounds and from different markets to promote a well-rounded judging experience.
All work must first appear in the media between January 1 and December 31, 2023. All entries must have been produced through the normal course of business.
