DISTRICT ADDYS The ADDY Awards are a three-tiered, national competition recognizing excellence in advertising. It is hosted annually by the American Advertising Federation, and is the nation's largest advertising competition. Entrants compete at the local level; winners advance to district- and then national-level competition. AAF District 5 hosts the second-tier of this competition, the District ADDYs, where Gold and certain Silver winners from the local level are judged. District winners advance to the National ADDY Awards. National ADDY winners are awarded in June at the AAF National Conference.
National Student Advertising Competition AAF D5 hosts the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) every spring. Each year, a corporate sponsor provides an assignment or case study outlining the history of its product and current advertising situation. The case study is always candid and reflects a real world situation. Students must research the product and its competition, identify potential problem areas and devise a completely integrated communications campaign for the client. Each student team then "pitches" its campaign to a panel of judges.The winning team in each district and one wild card team then advances to compete on the national level at the AAF National Conference in June. The NSAC sponsor for 2009-2010 is State Farm.
