American Advertising Awards Competition Opens With Deadline in February

The competition for the best advertising of 2014 in the Inland Empire is now open and submissions are being accepted by the local advertising club. The deadline to enter is Feb. 16, 2015. The American Advertising Awards (formerly the ADDY’s) honor the finest advertising among industry professionals and college students in the region. The annual competition is sponsored by the Inland Empire chapter of the American Advertising Federation. Qualifications for submitting work was described by Su Pak, president of the ad club. “Entrants must have created the work here in the Inland Empire and it must have appeared in the general public media between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2014,” she said. ”Students are encouraged to submit advertising work they created for a college assignment during the same time period.” The process consists of downloading the competition rules, registering for the competition and then dropping off entries, according to Pak. The ADDYS link on the AAF website, www.aaf-inlandempire.com, explains the process, including entry pricing. Pak can be reached at 909-257-8862. This year, entries should be delivered to Red Fusion Media located at 104 East State Street, Suite P, Redlands, CA 92372; 909-798-7092 before the deadline. There will also be a Drop Off Party in February where completed submissions can dropped off. The time and location are TBD. Downloading the 2014 winners book found under the ADDYS link on the AAF website is also a good idea according to Pak, “That way you can review all the winning entries in last year’s competition.” Each year the competition starts in the Inland Empire, where top award winners advance to district and national competition. Local award winners will be announced at the annual ADDY dinner gala on Friday, March 13, 2015 at the historic Mission Inn in Riverside.
