The 2011 competition was different from past years, in that it solicited entries from creative professionals in Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and the East Bay and was jointly managed by the four Bay Area AAF affiliate organizations: AAF-Silicon Valley, SFBIG (Bay Area Interactive Group), Greater San Francisco Ad Club, and AD2 San Francisco. The panel of judges for the 2011 Bay Area ADDYs included Todd Grant, creative director, Crispin Porter + Bogusky; Larry Corwin, creative director, BBDO/NY; and
Seth Weisfeld, digital creative director, Wieden+Kennedy.

“The ADDY Awards are always a tough competition showcasing the very best our industry has to offer. By combining the entire Bay Area into one event this year, the talent and creativity on display were kicked up to an unprecedented level, and the competition was tougher than ever,” said Steve Ohanians, creative director and partner at Clear Digital. “In such an arena, winning one ADDY is a tremendous achievement. Being chosen for eight by this esteemed panel of judges is amazing, and is a true testament to the talent of our team and the pride we take in every project.”
