Curiosity and exploration are vital for the human spirit. We invite you to let space be a blank canvas and your imaginations be the paintbrushes. Join us on a journey into the cosmos on February 19, 2022 to celebrate what we all have in common: Discovery, imagination, innovation, creativity, perseverance, solving problems, sharing achievements, and adapting to the now and our new future. Prepare for launch.

The American Advertising Awards Competition (ADDY Awards) is the advertising industry’s largest and most prestigious competition, attracting over 40,000 entries every year in local American Advertising Federation (AAF) club competitions. Our local AAF club, known as OKC Ad Club, hosts the first of a three-tier, national competition that honors the outstanding contributions of advertising practitioners. 

Only the best work will then move on to the district level, then national level for the opportunity to elevate your agency as one of the best in the nation.

OKC Ad Club’s tradition of service to the advertising industry and to the community continues as its members endeavor to reach new heights through education, advocacy, and professional opportunities. Averaging more than a thousand entries that represent dozens of agencies from the OKC and Tulsa area, the ADDY Awards competition has achieved the status as a “must-attend” industry event.

The 2022 ADDY Awards Professional and Student winners will represent the best of the best. It is the size of the idea that matters most, not the size of the organization that created the work, nor the size of the budget behind it. This distinction elevates the ADDY Awards above virtually every other advertising competition. 

The deadline to submit entries at the regular price is Wednesday, January 14, 2022 at 11:59pm!

Any entries submitted between January 15-19, 2022 will be subject to a late fee.

We are pleased to announce that we will be offering Early-Bird pricing this year. We want to give you an opportunity and ample time lock in your table reservations early to avoid paying full price.
