The Advertising Hall of Fame Council of Judges evaluates and votes on nominees for induction. Eligible nominees must have been retired from their primary careers for at least one year.
The AAF President and CEO and the Hall of Fame Chair appoint judges annually. Judges bring deep knowledge of advertising history and leadership. The Council may choose not to select inductees in a given year.
AAF also relies on the Council to support programming and sponsorship for the Hall of Fame event.
