Entries in 18 major categories were judged against a stringent set of standards. During its two-phase blind judging, the Board of Judges (from 11 different countries) searched for and identified superior creative and effective marketing. Each category employs slightly different judging criteria, however, there are a few overarching standards, including:

• The strength of concept/idea (originality and uniqueness of approach, message targeting, and honing, the synergy between concept, copy, and layout/execution)
• Quality of execution (How well the idea was executed (visual appeal, the tone of voice, chosen media, placement, etc.).
• Ability to persuade (How well did the creative move the target audience closer to the action or encourage a change in thoughts)

Winners were selected in a wide range of categories such as print, broadcast, interactive media, online advertising, marketing collateral, direct mail, corporate video, best idea never produced, and industry specific marketing.
