Entries that are also considered outstanding and worthy of recognition receive a Silver ADDY. The number of awards given in each category is determined by the judges, based on the relative quality of work in that category.
Gold ADDY’s are automatically forwarded to the AAF 4th District Florida/Caribbean competition and the winners will be announced in May 2023.
