Our industry is facing a fight like no other… Is AI friend or foe? We invite you to the Rumble of the Century on February 24, 2024, and celebrate our industry. Will you enter the ring?

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 AAF Oklahoma, 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 the national level for the opportunity to elevate your agency as one of the best in the nation.

AAF Oklahoma’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, Tulsa, and Wichita Falls, TX area, the American Advertising Awards competition has achieved status as a “must-attend” industry event.

We invite all professionals and students in Oklahoma and Wichita Falls, TX to participate in the 2024 American Advertising Awards.

The deadline to submit entries is Wednesday, January 10, 2024 at 11:59 p.m.!

Don’t miss out on the event of the year! See below for table and ticket options.

The Impact Your Sponsorship Makes

AAF Oklahoma brings together Oklahoma’s advertising, marketing, PR agencies, in-house marketing departments and freelancers.

The club also invests in students and young professionals through scholarships.

• Three $2,000 scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students through the JAC Awards.
• One $2,000 Jeanie Ruedy Commercial Art/Graphic Design Scholarship to one undergraduate student majoring or minoring in advertising, commercial art, or graphic design.

Our exclusive sponsorship packages offer considerable publicity and reach for organizations seeking to connect with Oklahoma’s top advertising influencers. Show your love for AAF Oklahoma by supporting the 2024 American Advertising Awards gala.

AAF Oklahoma will be hosting the People’s Choice competition during the 2024 Gala.

Five nominees will be selected by our panel of out-of-region judges. Each gala attendee will receive a free ticket to vote. Each additional vote is $10 and the winner will be announced at the end of the gala.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology and creativity, the clash between artificial intelligence and human ingenuity has captured the world’s attention. In the Rumble of the Century!

Entries for AAF Oklahoma’s Local Only category, Ultimate Knockout, can be in any media format, regardless of whether or not the work was published. Here’s your chance to unarchive that design that your clients thought was “too much” or show off one of your clever and perfectly timed, yet non-business-related, GIFs that only got to shine in your team’s Slack channel.

Entries will be judged on a variety of factors that include one or more of the following:

• Breaks the design rules
• Visually captivating
• Unique combinations of fonts, colors, images

In this category, rules are meant to be broken!

*REMINDER* Local Only entries cannot advance to the District or National competitions. 

Orders and checks must be received by Friday, March 15, 2024. No order will be accepted after this date.

Duplicate medals and certificates will be available for pickup on Wednesday, April 10, 2024.
