Partner With AIAF · Applications Open Year-Round
An Annual Festival.
A Long-Term Partnership.
Atlanta AI Ad Fest returns every year. We are inviting brands, AI platforms, media, schools and cultural organizations to grow with it — not for a single campaign, but edition after edition.

Where we are
The first edition is for our hometown. What comes next, we build together.
For its inaugural edition, AIAF dedicates both brand tracks to two Atlanta-born brands — The Home Depot and Chick-fil-A — as an independent creative tribute to the city where the festival began.
From AIAF 2027 onward, brand tracks, creator programs and festival moments will be built with long-term partners. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.

Briefs that become culture
A future brand track turns your brief into original films made by creators worldwide and published across social media under festival hashtags.
- 03
An Atlanta stage
A presence at the annual Awards Night in Atlanta — screenings, ceremony, and the people shaping AI-era advertising.

Standards, not stunts
Idea-first judging — Idea 40 · Craft 30 · Brand 20 · Impact 10 — keeps every partnership on the side of craft and taste.
