Spark + Addy Awards Gala 2026

The Lowcountry’s biggest creative showcase just got a massive upgrade.

On Thursday, March 12, the Charleston American Marketing Association (AMA) and the American Advertising Federation (AAF) are taking over the massive Harbor Entrepreneur Center to host a one-night-only pop-up gallery experience.

We’re transforming 60,000 square feet into a high-energy celebration of the region’s most brilliant marketing minds and creative heavyweights. This isn't just an awards ceremony; it’s a living gallery of the strategy, ROI, and design that moved the needle this year.

• The Power of Two: For the first time, the AMA Spark Awards and the AAF ADDY Awards have joined forces. See the best of both worlds in one place.
• A Massive Canvas: Explore a curated gallery of winning work spanning the entire Harbor Entrepreneur Center.
• The Network: Rub elbows with the Lowcountry’s top CMOs, art directors, freelancers, and brand strategists.
• Double the Glory: Witness the reveal of the year's best work under a single, streamlined timeline.
