The Northwest ADDY Awards is an annual creative competition sponsored by District XI of the America Advertising Federation (AAF); the advertising industry’s largest trade organization. District XI is comprised of local clubs in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska and the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta.

The Northwest ADDY Awards are the second tier of a three-tiered national competition sponsored by AAF. The winners at this competition have earned the right to proceed on to national judging which a national judging panel will hold in Washington D.C.
