DEADLINE EXTENDED: 12.10.2020 The Addy is the off

DEADLINE EXTENDED: 12.10.2020

The Addy is the official trophy of the AAF-STL American Advertising Awards.

In a year unlike any other, while some markets have opted out of their local show altogether, St. Louis is opting in to the relationship between change and creativity.

Even something as beloved and collected as the St. Louis Addy must be retired eventually. And now is that moment. So we’re sharing a brief with one and all, in search of the perfect new monument to honor our city’s best creative thinking.

Please give it a share, give it a think and utilize the template* to submit your brilliant ideas to our Executive Director, Andrea at director@adclubstlouis.org by December 3rd. Two finalists will then be selected for bidding and feasibility before a winner is ultimately selected.

Good luck. Make St. Louis proud (and other cities envious).
