Information for Local ADDY Chairs

Entry Rules: All entries must conform to 2009 AAF rules and categories. All clubs must advance their entries using the ADDY software.  PLEASE INCLUDE A HARD COPY OF YOUR ENTRY MANIFEST and a check along with your entries. You can easily print this out from the ADDY software.

Note: ANY CLUB THAT DOES NOT ADVANCE THEIR ENTRIES USING THE ADDY SOFTWARE WILL NOT BE JUDGED AT DISTRICT.

Again this year: There will be a $10.00 administrative fee charged to any entry improperly categorized that must be reassigned. You will be notified of the change, and the fee must be paid before the entry is judged. So triple-check your master manifest against your entries before shipping them.

Fees:  The entry fee to forward Golds or Silvers to the District is $75.00 per entry. Also please note that all clubs will be assessed a $2.00 fee for each entry in the local competition by the AAF.  The AAF will invoice you for this.

Reminder: Each entry must come with your local entry form attached to it. If it does not, the entry will not be judged.

What to ship: All Gold ADDY winners must be auto-forwarded at the club's expense to us. All Silver ADDYs, or equivalent awards, should be forwarded as well. We suggest that you automatically forward Silver ADDYs and bill the recipient, advising them their work can be judged at District, but for an additional fee. (This is the standard protocol used nationally by the AAF.) If we do not receive the money to cover judging the Silver ADDY entry you send us, it will not be judged.

Notification: All local ADDY Chairs will be notified via fax or email of the District winners from their club on or before April 10, 2010. It will be your responsibility to notify your local winners.

Plaques: Plaques will be shipped, at each club’s expense, to ADDY chairs for distribution to your winners.  Each plaque will contain a Duplicate Order Form which should be faxed to all of your winners. The cost for duplicate plaques is $75.00.

The National Competition: District Gold ADDY winners will be auto-forwarded to the National ADDY competition. If your club has District Silver ADDY winners, they will also be forwarded to national, however, the entrant must pay an additional fee directly to national before it is judged. Fees are $100.00 for a single entry, and $100.00 for a campaign.  The AAF will notify Silver ADDY winners and inform them of when and how to make payment.  If your members have any questions about this, ask them to contact Gail Bozeman at the National AAF Headquarters.  (Contact info at www.aaf.org.)
