Winners of the 2008 ADDY® Awards competition sponsored by the Advertising Professionals of North Los Angeles County (ADPROS) will be announced Sunday, March 16.

Sponsored by the American Advertising Federation, the ADDY® Awards are the world's largest creative advertising competition. The contest offers art directors, graphic designers, web designers, photographers, illustrators, and printers a singular opportunity to compete for recognition and excellence among peers all over the United States and Canada.

With more than 70 categories in which work can be entered, the contest honors all forms of advertising across the broad spectrum of print, broadcast and digital media. Entries are accepted from ADPROS members and non-members alike.

Each AAF chapter administers a local awards program and the winners advance to one of 14 regional competitions. Regional winners move on to the national/international finals. ADPROS is the local AAF chapter serving the Santa Clarita, San Fernando and Antelope Valleys.

This year's ADDY® winners will be announced at the group's annual ADDY® Creative Awards Banquet, scheduled for 6 p.m. Sunday, March 16, at the Odyssey Restaurant in Granada Hills. Tickets can be purchased by calling Will Sherwood at (661) 287-0017.
