Greetings,
To launch our new revamped e-newsletter, we are focusing the issue on this year's ADDY competition. And, with the December 14th entry deadline fast approaching, the subject matter couldn't be more timely.
In this issue, we hope you'll find information and tips to make entering this year's competition easier and less stressful. Of course, if you have any questions about the competition, please don't hesitate to contact your ADDY Committee. As always, I look forward to seeing all the outstanding work entered from our local community.
Hope you enjoy the new format; and if you would like to contribute information for an upcoming issue, be sure to submit your information to our newsletter committee for inclusion.
Best,
Mark Anthony Munoz
Phoenix Ad Club President |

The ADDYs are conducted annually by the American Advertising Federation (AAF). The local ADDY Awards is the first in a three-tier, national competition. Concurrently, all across the country, local entrants vie for recognition as the very best in their markets. At the second tier, local winners compete against other winners in one of 15 district competitions. District winners are then forwarded to the third tier, the national ADDY Awards competition.
TIER 1: Entry in your local ADDY competition is the first step toward winning a national ADDY.
TIER 2: Gold Local ADDY winners (and Silver winners who wish to pay an additional forwarding fee) advance to compete in the District competition.
TIER 3: Gold District ADDY winners advance to compete in the National competition.
