About the Summit Creative Awards The Summit Creative Awards recognizes and celebrates the creative accomplishments of small and medium sized advertising agencies and other creative groups with annual billings of $30 million or less. Over the fifteen years, the competition has established itself as the premier arbiter of creative excellence for firms of this size. All entries to the Summit Creative Awards were reviewed and scored by a panel of sixteen judges representing many of today’s top creative agencies worldwide. Entries in 21 creative categories are judged against a stringent set of standards. During the blind judging events (entering company names withheld) judges search for innovative and creative concepts, strong executions and the ability to communicate and persuade.

“Winning a Summit Creative Award is a significant accomplishment. The combination of our excellent judges and the tough judging criteria ensures that only deserving entries be recognized” said Jocelyn Luciano, Executive Director for the Summit International Awards. “It was an exciting year to watch and listen to the judges’ debate the details of individual entries. Making the decisions of which ones receive the top spots is hard.”

This year’s creative competition included companies from the following twenty-six countries: Australia, Austria, England, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Denmark, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Mexico, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, and United States.

Winners were selected in categories that include print, broadcast, emerging media, interactive multimedia, online advertising, marketing materials, direct mail, political, corporate video, public service, best idea never produced, industry self-promotion, brand redesign, and student competition.

The International Summit Awards (SIA) organization was founded in 1994. The organization conducts the Summit Creative Award, the Summit Marketing Effectiveness Award and the Summit Emerging Media Award. The 2008 competition is the 14th year for the creative competition.
