The American Advertising Federation – Dallas (AAF Dallas) honored some of Dallas’ most promising advertising professionals and students at the 53rd annual AAF Dallas American Advertising Awards on February 26. 2015, at Gas Monkey Live. Formerly known as the ADDY® Awards competition, the American Advertising Awards features more than 40,000 entries across the country, competing at three different levels – local, district and national. 
This year’s Dallas competition was judged by Wade Alger, SVP/Group’s Creative Director and Copywriter at The Martin Agency; John Antoniello, Creative Director at Razorfish; and Mark Carlson, Senior Creative Director/Art Director at McDonald’s.
With a theme mirroring classic scouting adventures, AAF Dallas created Camp Addy to engage both entrants and attendees with the creative thinking that emerges in advertising. Caliber developed this theme to enhance the experience of all in attendance.
Following the awards ceremony, attendees celebrated their accomplishments at the event’s after-party. Featuring The Mullet Boyz, a band known to combine comedy, choreography and music, attendees danced the night away.
The American Advertising Awards 2015 sponsors included Creative Circle, Imaginuity, Paladin, Freeman+Leonard, Caliber, Intake Studios and Skyline Sector5. In-kind donations came from ColorDynamics, Anderson Studio, MMT, Clamitt Paper, Eric Cash Illustration and Those Three Reps.
