CALL FOR ENTRIES: 83rd Annual OBIE Awards Now Open for Submissions
The Out of Home Advertising Association of America (OAAA) is excited to announce that entries are now open for The 83rd Annual OBIE Awards, one of the industry’s most prestigious honors celebrating creative excellence in out of home (OOH) advertising. The OBIE Awards highlight the best OOH campaigns that capture attention, engage audiences, and push the boundaries of creativity.
The OBIE Awards are the oldest and most prestigious honors for creative excellence in out of home (OOH) advertising design. OBIE, short for obelisk, refers to the ancient stone pillars that served as the foundation of modern advertising–where posts and pictures informed the masses in town squares across ancient Egypt, and then around the world.
For the last 82 years, the OBIEs have honored the best, most innovative, breath-taking activations in our industry. From spectacular digital screens with addressable video to inventive transit takeovers, from eye-popping billboard campaigns to state-of-the-art augmented reality and experiential programs, OOH grows every day in whole new ways.
The OBIEs bring you the best designs in our industry–whether complex, layered storytelling or simple, reductionist campaigns–meant to stop time for a moment. It’s no wonder OOH remains creatives’ favorite medium.
In addition, OAAA is proud to highlight the second year of The Student OBIE Awards, dedicated to recognizing the next generation of creative talent. This category is open to students enrolled in advertising, marketing, design, and related programs, giving them the opportunity to showcase their work in front of industry leaders and gain national recognition.
The OBIE Awards will be presented during the 2025 OOH Media Conference, taking place from May 5-7, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. This event brings together top leaders, marketers, and creatives from across the OOH industry, making it the perfect stage to celebrate the year’s most outstanding campaigns.

The OAAA has extended the submission deadline for the 83rd Annual OBIE Awards, giving the industry more time to submit their most innovative and breathtaking OOH activations.
The new final deadline is Friday, January 17, 2025.
Don’t miss this opportunity to have your work celebrated on our industry’s biggest stage.
