How the rankings are calculated:
1. Points are given for each award, with the points based on the probability of winning each award.
2. 300 points for Grand Prix; 110 points for Gold; 40 points for Silver; 15 points for Bronze; 90 points for Craft Gold; 30 points for Craft Certificate.
3. Single entries that are combined into one campaign award during judging will receive 1,5 times the points. For example, if three print posters are combined and awarded a Campaign Gold, then the award will be worth 1,5 x 110 = 165 points.
4. The following categories will all be awarded 1,5 times the points: Mixed-media campaigns;
Integrated Campaigns; Communication Design – Identity Programmes; Internal Marketing Programmes, CRM Programmes; Live Events & Sponsorship.
5. Where more than one company or individual has been credited, the points will be divided
equally between the parties. For example, if two companies share the Agency credit on a digital website, then each company will receive half the points; or if three people share the Writer credit, then each person will receive a third of the points.
6. A company cannot receive points as both an agency and as a production company.
7. Production companies will receive points from International Craft entries; however agencies will not receive any points.
