The Spikes Asia Festival will once again culminate in an Awards Ceremony this year where the best creative of the region will be celebrated on stage.

In addition to Bronze, Silver, Gold and Grand Prix Spikes that may be awarded in each competition section, four special awards are made to agencies, networks and clients that have made an outstanding contribution to creative excellence in the region.

Network Of The Year

Network of the Year is given to the agency network that obtains the highest score for entries in the TV/Cinema, Print, Outdoor, Radio, Media, Digital, Direct & Sales Promotion, Design, Integrated and Craft sections.

To form part of the network for consideration in the calculation, the company concerned must be wholly or majority owned by the network. Entrants will be asked to declare which, if any, agency network each entry is affiliated to at the point of entry – e.g. Saatchi & Saatchi, Ogilvy, BBDO etc. The Network of the Year Award’s calculation will be based on the combination of points won by an agency network for ALL of its awards won and ALL of its shortlisted entries.

If an entry is shortlisted and then goes on to win an award, the shortlist point is no longer counted.

In the case of a tie, first the number and then the rank of the awards will be taken into consideration. Finally, if necessary, all shortlist points will be taken into consideration.

For example:

Network A Network B
2 Gold 14 points 1 Gold 7 points
1 Silver 5 points 1 Silver 5 points
1 Shortlist 1 point 8 Shortlist 8 points
TOTAL: 20 points TOTAL: 20 points

 

Although the total points are the same, Network A beats Network B based on the number and rank of prizes awarded.

The scores for the Network of the Year are calculated as follows:

Grand Prix: 10 Points
Gold Spike: 7 Points
Silver Spike: 5 Points
Bronze Spike: 3 Points
Shortlist Position: 1 Point


Agency of the Year

The Spikes Asia Agency of the Year Award will be given to the agency that obtains the highest score for its entries in the sections TV/Cinema, Print, Outdoor and Radio, irrespective of whether these have been entered by the agency or another party.

The Award will be given to one office only – points awarded to sister companies will not be combined. For example, the points for TBWA\Hong Kong and TBWA\Shanghai will be considered separately. Where more than one agency has been credited on the original entry forms, the points will be divided pro rata amongst each agency.

The calculation is based on all the awards won by an agency, but will include a maximum of 10 points for shortlisted entries. In the case of a tie, first the number and then the rank of the awards will be taken into consideration. Finally, if necessary, all shortlist points will be taken into consideration.
