advertising professionals from markets across the U.S. who are flown into
Duluth for a weekend of pouring over submissions. On March 5, the work they
selected will be awarded Gold ADDY, Silver ADDY, Judges Row and Best of
Show at the 34th annual gala ADDYs celebration in downtown Duluth.
Winners of Gold ADDYs advance to District competition, which includes work
from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North and South Dakota. Winners at that level go on to compete among the best advertising materials in the nation.
"This our annual opportunity to honor the region's best work in television,
print, radio, outdoor and dozens of other advertising and marketing

categories," said Denise Archer, AAF Duluth/Superior president.
Submissions come from across a spectrum of businesses and non-profits,
including: advertising agencies, production houses, interactive developers,
designers, writers, photographers, illustrators and more. Students from area colleges are strongly encouraged to enter the contest.
"You don't need to be an AAF member, but if you're submitting work, it's
really the perfect time to join and save money on those entry fees," Archer
said. "Of course, entry fees for students are only a fraction of the member
and non-member cost. So students who want to pursue a career in the industry would be wise to check this out."
