The 99 Awards Show & WI Advertising HOF

The Milwaukee 99* is Wisconsin’s premier advertising award show. Created by the United

Adworkers** in 2001, the 99 was carefully and craftily created to be one of the toughest shows

of any market. Only 99 pieces of work get in and of those there are only 10 bronzes, 6 silvers, 4

golds and 1 best of show. Like other shows, there are categories. But unlike other shows, an

award doesn’t have to be given just because it rises to the top in its category. This is a tough

show purposefully built to only reward creative problem solving at its finest. The show also

features a student category that is equally as challenging but also rewards tomorrow’s talent

with a cash prize and the visibility of hundreds of professionals.

This year’s show will be held at Turner Hall on February 26 at 6PM. In addition to seeing some

of the finest creative work in the state, guests will enjoy food, beverages, live entertainment and

numerous networking opportunities. Tickets are $75 per person, tables of 8 can be purchased

$540 and students are just $10. Register today.

*Why 99? The idea was conceived while drinking a few beers and was based on the song 99

Bottles of Beer on the Wall. Hey, this is Milwaukee after all.

**The United Adworkers are a community-driven organization focused on elevating Wisconsin's

advertising and creative scene. Our mission is to build a productive, creative scene that nurtures
