2012 Orlando ADDYs - Presented by the Orlando American Advertising Federation
Join us at this year's ADDY award show as we celebrate Advertising Through the Ages. Our black and white themed Gala event will be the talk of the town, but we all know that everyone will be thinking silver and gold. The evening will begin with hors d'oeuvres and drinks at The Abbey and then move upstairs to The Mezz as we reveal the 2012 Orlando ADDY winners! Plus, you won't want to miss the after party back downstairs in The Abbey, so be sure to secure your tickets now!

Orlando Sentinel Spec Ad Competition
The Spec Ad Competition is Back!
The American Advertising Federation-Orlando, Ad2 and the Orlando Sentinel are pleased to announce the return of the "Spec Ad Competition."
Remember all those times your client selected Option C? Now's your chance to get Option A in print. Just submit a full-page: 6 col. X 21" (10" x 21") / 4C / 300 dpi. ad to the Orlando Sentinel and sit back as the Ad Pros at the Sentinel select this year's winner. If you’re chosen, The Sentinel will run YOUR version of your client's ad FULL PAGE for FREE!
Entries Due February 1st - Entry Fee is $25 (per entry)
Eligibility Requirements: Must submit camera-ready art and a color proof or laser print (doesn't have to be actual - just what fits on your biggest printer) for an EXISTING paying client. The ad must have been produced in 2011 and your client either decided to go with another option, put the project on hold, go in a different direct - whatever. You did the work and it NEVER ran. Don't even try and weasel in some ad that did run and you just changed a few things here and there - we'll catch you, and then you'll be disqualified (best option) or we won't until after you win and then you'll be charged for the media (boo-ya) - no, seriously, just be honest!
Entries Due February 1 and the winner will be announced at the Gala on the 17th.
Spec Ad entries should be dropped off at Orlando Sentinel Security Station on Wednesday, February 1st, at the Concord Entrance. (There is a small visitor parking lot near the corner of Concord and Orange Ave.)
