ABOUT THE ADDYS
The national American Advertising Awards honors creative excellence in advertising and is the final tier in a national competition sponsored by the American Advertising Federation. The American Advertising Awards are the industry's largest and most representative creative competition.
Concurrently, entrants in the Pikes Peak Advertising Federation's American Advertising Award are vying for recognition as the very best in the market. The local winners of the 210 clubs nationwide are eligible to compete against other winners within their region in the District competition. District winners compete in the national ADDY competition with the winners announced in June at the National ADDY Awards Show. In addition, 2002 marked the first competition to solicit and accept entrants worldwide, making the ADDY competition one of the largest of its kind.

The PPAF American Advertising (ADDY) Awards is the local creative competition. It is the first step in the American Advertising Federation’s National Awards Competition held annually in June. Each year over 300 locally produced advertising pieces are judged. Winners are recognized tonight and can then advance to regional and national competition.
Originating in 1998, the Frederick R. Sindt Everest Award is presented to a dedicated member of the Pikes Peak Region who has "gone above and beyond the normal standards of community service." The original award is on display at the World Arena. The Frederick R. Sindt Everest Award was first given to Fred Sindt prior to his death in 1999 for his accomplishments in advertising and community service. Fred Sindt, a highly respected and admired Colorado Springs resident, served as public information chairman for the founding organization of the Colorado Springs World Arena. Fred was also advertising and public relations director for the Broadmoor for 17 years prior to opening his own agency. He was a founding member and past president of the Pikes Peak Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America. He was awarded the Pikes Peak Ad Fed Silver Medal and the Press Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award. He graduated from Iowa State University and served in the US Army.
The Silver Medal, bestowed annually by AAF, Affiliated Advertising Associations, is considered by the American Advertising Federation and the advertising community as the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a practitioner by his or her peers. The Silver Medal Award Program was established in 1959 to recognize men and women who have made outstanding contributions to advertising and who have been active in furthering the industry’s standards and social concerns. Recipients are judged on their contributions to their company, creative ability, contributions to the advancement of advertising and contributions to their community.
