About this Event

OUTWIT. OUTPLAY. OUTCREATE.

Only the bold survive.
The 64th Annual American Advertising Awards aren’t just a ceremony. They’re a battleground.

Students. Agencies. Freelancers. Design warriors. Copy sorcerers.
All called to the island. One night. One chance to carve their name into legend.

Your tools are simple:

  • Your team.
  • Your craft.
  • Your will to outlast.

The competition is real.
Unexpected twists. Ruthless rivalries.
Bragging rights and hard-earned metal are on the line.

The tribe has spoken.
The council is gathering.
And when the final moment comes, one idea will be left standing.

Will it be yours?
Or will you leave empty-handed?

Some talk about surviving the year.
This is about conquering it.


The AAF has spoken. The winners are sealed.

But only the bold show up to claim their crown.
Get your tickets now.
Don’t just win — own it.
