Membership Information

To be eligible for consideration of an ADDY®, all work must have been published or aired between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008.

The Local Broadcast/Cable Production Awards
The Local Broadcast/Cable Production Awards were established to honor the creative work local broadcasters produce on a shoestring. To be eligible, entries must have been created and produced by a local broadcast facility with only local talent and a budget of less than $1,000. All work must have first aired between January 1 and December 31, 2008.

Only single 30- or 60-second spots (not campaigns) will be accepted. Radio spots should be submitted on CD and television spots on DVD. There is a nominal entry fee of $25 per entry in this category. Although listed as the ADDY® for purposes of online entry, Local Broadcast/ Cable Production is a non–ADDY® category and winners are not eligible to advance to the district and national competitions. You may, however, enter your work in both category 90 and the appropriate ADDY® broadcast categories.

The Creative Spark Awards
Creativity isn’t limited to art directors and copywriters. The Creative Spark Awards honor those “non-creatives” who bring out-of-the-box thinking to their roles as media reps, account executives, printers and broadcast producers. Winners of the Creative Spark Awards are selected by Syracuse Ad Club members via an online ballot or hard copy. Watch your e-mail for your ballot and more details.

The Syracuse Advertising Awards Show
The Syracuse ADDY® Awards, Local Broadcast/Cable Production Awards, Student ADDY® Awards and Creative Spark Awards will be presented at the Syracuse Advertising Awards show on March 6, 2009 at the newly renovated Palace Theater. Mark your calendar, then watch your mail for your invitation to this gala event, where movers and shakers of the Central New York advertising community come together to honor the winners.
