OFF-CONTINENT SHIPMENTS

Because Summit Awards recognizes winners around the world, shipments outside the United States and Canada are sent Delivered at Place, DAP. This allows shipping costs to remain more predictable while ensuring shipments move under the import requirements of the destination country.

Any customs duties, import taxes, VAT, brokerage fees, clearance fees, or other charges assessed by the destination country are the responsibility of the recipient. These charges are collected by the local customs authority or delivery carrier and must be paid before delivery or release of the shipment.

These charges are not included in the shipping cost or trophy purchase price and vary by country. Summit Awards does not estimate, collect, or prepay import-related charges on the recipient’s behalf.

It’s not unusual for Summit Awards entries to include sensitive or proprietary content. We have safeguards in place to protect this information:

• All judging is done on a secure server.

• Jury members sign confidentiality agreements.

• Entries flagged as confidential are tracked during administrative and judging reviews.

If an entry is awarded, any creative samples or documents marked as confidential will be removed from public display. Instead, a winner icon will be used as the gallery thumbnail.

What to do:
If your entry includes confidential details, please email us immediately after submission with the Entering Company Name, and Entry Name or Number. We’ll tag it appropriately and ensure sensitive information is protected.

Blind Judging

The Summit Awards uphold the principle of “blind judging” to ensure fairness and impartiality. This process involves concealing the names of entering companies so that our judges evaluate submissions without knowledge of the entrant’s identity, thus eliminating any potential conscious or unconscious biases.

• General Rule: When submitting entries, please do not include your company name on any creative samples or in the project description field. This preserves the anonymity essential for unbiased judgment. Your client’s name can remain on the creative samples and project descriptions as necessary.
• Exceptions to Blind Judging:

1. In-House Marketing Departments: When submissions come from in-house marketing teams, any self-referential details or mentions of in-house production should be excluded to maintain the integrity of the evaluation process.
2. Self-Promotional Materials: If an agency or creative shop is entering promotional materials designed for their own firm, the inclusion of their name is permissible. This is the only scenario where the entrant’s identity can be disclosed, as it is integral to the nature of the work being judged.

By adhering to these guidelines, we ensure that all entries are assessed solely based on their creative and strategic merits, promoting an equitable competition environment.

That is why we’re here. Just give us a call or send us an email describing your project and client, and we’ll do our best to direct it to the best spot.

Interactive displays, kiosks, presentations, press events have more flexibility in how they are presented so that we are able to share the project with the Jury in as realistic way as possible.

It can be helpful to develop a short video or a PowerPoint in order to help present the project. Other times, entrants have created a microsite taking the judges through the various phases, etc.

Trophies are custom-made per our winners’ requests and are available seasonally. Winner’s trophies are drop-shipped directly from our manufacturers. Trophies take 3-8 weeks, certificates take 3-6 weeks, depending on the date ordered.

Absolutely not. Once you are a winner, you have won. Take advantage of all of the benefits of being a winner: bragging rights, winner-controlled microsites, publicity tools and association with the more than quarter-century-old Summit Awards.

Winners of the Summit Awards have the option to purchase a trophy if they wish to have one. We’ve designed our approach this way to ensure fairness and transparency in our awards program. By making trophy purchases optional, we ensure that non-winners are not subsidizing the cost of trophies for winners. This approach also helps us defray some of the expenses associated with running the Summit Awards while keeping our entry fees as low as possible for all participants.

It’s important to note that not all winners choose to purchase a trophy. We understand that different winners have varying preferences and needs. Some may prefer to celebrate their achievement in other ways, while others may find great value in receiving a physical trophy as a symbol of their accomplishment.

Additionally, the decision to acquire a trophy as a Summit Awards winner is entirely optional, allowing winners to choose what best suits their preferences and budget. We are committed to providing a flexible and equitable experience for all participants in the Summit Awards.

Summit Marketing Effectiveness Award: Judges evaluate each entry’s Brief and Creative Sample, and critique it on how well it influences, changes, or reinforces the audiences’ knowledge, attitudes or beliefs. Entries are judged against a benchmark that indicates quality effectiveness, and Silver winners compete with each for a Platinum win. This means that winners not only meet a minimum standard but also truly stand out from the crowd. Proven creative professionals with a depth of industry experience sit on these judging panels.  Judging takes place in November. Entrants are notified of award results electronically, and winners are mailed a winner packet late-December or early-January.

Each category employs slightly different judging criteria, however, in general, the following is the Summit MEA judging criteria:

• The Big Idea – Strength of creative approach relative to the audience and product/service/idea 1-25 pts.
• Does it establish a feeling of want or need 1-25 pts.
• Does it move the audience closer to action through the use of creative execution and strategic planning? 1-25 pts.
• Does it influence, change or reinforce the knowledge, attitudes or beliefs of the audience? 1-25 pts.
