2012 ADDY Awards: Early Bird Pricing Ending Soon!

It's February in KC, which means it is officially full-blown ADDY season, that wonderful time of year when we celebrate the creative excellence of Kansas City's diverse and richly talented advertising and marketing community.

The ADDY Awards is the world's largest advertising competition with over 50,000 entries annually. The ADDYs are unique among other advertising creative competitions in that it is the only competition that includes three levels of judging: local, regional, and national. Winning an ADDY at each level qualifies the work to progress to the next higher level, representing the true spirit of creative excellence by recognizing all forms of advertising from media of all types, creative by all sizes and entrants of all levels from anywhere in the world.

• Only two days remaining to take advantage of early bird pricing for 2012 ADDY Award Show tickets. Order your tickets now and join us Saturday, February 18th at the AMC Midland Theatre for an incredible gala evening. This year we will again be hosting an exclusive pre-ADDY VIP party, to be held at the Midland Theater's stunning Chandelier Bar. The party will include heavy hors d'œuvres and an open bar starting at 6:30pm. VIP tickets will also grant you access to the main theater. Since the awards show seating is general admission, the VIP Party gives you the chance to save a prime spot for the big show! Register today!

• We're also looking for volunteers the day of the event to help load the gallery show into the AMC Midland Theatre. Email Tasha Norton at norton.tasha@gmail.com if you are interested in helping out with with this on February 18th from 10am to 2pm. [Note: If you are pregnant, this volunteering opportunity is not for you.]

The Kansas City ADDY Awards has historically been one of the largest — if not the largest — local ADDY award show in the country and this year doesn't look to be any different. Hope to see you there!
