Apply to be a judge
The objective of the American Advertising Awards is to recognize and reward creative excellence in advertising. Judges score entries against the other work in the competition, using their own experience as the yardstick. To keep the show fair, judges have to come from outside the market they score, so we are looking for judges who work outside the Toledo viewing area to score Toledo's entries.
