Advertising Awards
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.
New Mexico's Biggest Night In Advertising
The New Mexico Advertising Awards is the Land of Enchantment’s annual competition. Entrants from across the state vie to win ADDY Awards and be recognized as the very best in our market. Winners move on to the District competition and then the National round.
Entering the New Mexico Advertising Awards supports our entire industry. 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.
