Is this the same system as last year, because I hated that system?
NO! We hated last year’s system too. This is a new system. You’ll need to set-up your account again. AAF National severed all ties with the developer. So, please, we ask for your patience again, but please setup a new account.

How many copies of work do I submit with my entry?
Two copies of the work should be submitted with each entry. Only entries that submit two copies will be on display at the Awards Show.

Do I have to enter my work online or can I just bring stuff to you?
All entries must be submitted online. However, a printed list of your entries along with your physical entries (including printed work and cd’s with digital work) must be brought to ADDY drop-off on January 10, 2014.

What if all of my entries are digital entries, do I still have to come to ADDY drop-off? What about websites?
A printed list of your entries along with your digital entries on cd must be brought to ADDY drop-off on January 10, 2014. If you are submitting a website, a screenshot of the website must be printed and submitted as you would submit a physical entry. No cd of the website is required.
