student ADDY's competition

AD2SF runs the student ADDY's competition for the Northern San Francisco Bay Area. We highly recommend that all students pursuing a career in a communications field participate in this competition. Employers regard highly award winners, which helps you have a leg up over the competition in today's job marketplace.

The AAF Student ADDY Awards Competition is a unique national awards program designed specially for college students. Work entered at your local level can move up to the regional and national judging, just like the work entered by professionals across the country.

Applicants must be enrolled full- or part-time in an accredited U.S. educational institution. Student interns are eligible to enter.

Submit work developed specifically for this competition or from previous projects or student contests (work must be created while the entrant is a student not employed in the advertising industry). National winning entries may receive the following:

  • Finalist certificate—great for résumés and portfolios
  • Prestigious Student ADDY Award for first-place winners
  • $1,000 cash prize for National Best of Show winner
