According to the AAF, the not-for-profit industry association that administers the ADDY Awards via at least 200 member advertising clubs and 15 districts, this section is designed especially for college students. The category allows work entered at a local level to advance up to regional and national judging, just like the work entered by professionals across the U.S.

The banquet, sponsored by the Ad Club of Northeast Louisiana, had hundreds of total entries, primarily from local advertising agencies.
