2026 American Advertising Awards (Amarillo)

Each year, the American Advertising Federation-Amarillo Chapter works tirelessly to organize the American Advertising Awards, with a mission to recognize and celebrate the creative spirit of excellence in advertising across the Texas Panhandle.

We are excited to announce that the 2026 American Advertising Awards , hosted by AAF Amarillo will be on Febuary 20, at HODGETOWN in downtown Amarillo. The doors will open at 6:00 PM!

The evening will feature food, drinks, entertainment, giveaways, and, most importantly, recognition of the most innovative and breakthrough advertising work in our region. The American Advertising Awards, hosted by AAF-Amarillo, mark the beginning of a prestigious three-tier national competition.

Across the country, local entrants compete for awards, with winners advancing to the second tier: district competitions. District award winners then move forward to the national stage of the American Advertising Awards.
