The 2022 American Advertising Awards competition has been extended to Feb 22nd!
Some folks told us they didn’t get the emails that the competition is open and our other www.AAFHRVA.com site isn’t taking updates on the competition correctly so there will be NO LATE FEE for PROS or STUDENTS. But 2/22 at 6pm is the final entry deadline .

The return of the “Addy Gala” is still on hold. Not forgotten, just waiting for an obvious good time to invite people to hang out, have a good time and recognize great ad work without wondering if you need to wear a mask while chatting up friends, co-workers and potential clients. So hold tight a little longer and then we’ll make up for lost time together when we see an “all clear” in Summer or Fall of 2022.
When we do get back to the “Gala”, we will celebrate the ’20, ’21 and 2022 American Advertising Award winners together. Until then, stay keep making that GREAT ADVERTISING and those messages that move us to purchase, attend and champion the businesses that serve our everyday lives.
Now, get your best work together and load it up for the local, regional and national recognition you deserve!.
Thanks also goes to 3 Waves Media for website design on this site, our AMERICAN ADVERTISING AWARDS site that chronicles the rich history of ad creative creation in Virginia.
2019 American Advertising Award Acknowledgements
Remember when you could go and see people? Ah, memories. We also delivered the 2020 awards to most of our local winners but there were limited pictures as some shops have skeleton staffs in the office. Still lots of creatives are working from home. We’ll get pictures in 2021 as folks start filling the offices again around Hampton Roads. Until then, check out some of pics of the ’19 winners with a bunch of the crew in each agency, production house, Marcomm Dept or media company that won. CLICK on the photo to arrow through some of the winners.
