Sponsored by the American Advertising Federation (AAF) and sponsored this year by Metro Newspapers, the awards are
designed to honor advertising excellence and to cultivate the highest standards in the industry. The three-tiered
competition begins at the local level with the Philly Ad Club and the 210 AAF member clubs around the nation. The local
Gold winners are advanced to 14 competitions regionally. Winners of the District competition then advance to the
National competition.
The Awards Celebration began with a cocktail reception in the massive rotunda area. Attendees enjoyed dinner hors
d'oeuvres with pasta, salmon, vegetable and prime roast carving stations. Following the awards presentation,
celebrators capped off the night with cannolis, mousee, tartlets and decadent cakes. Music provided by the
