The Summit Awards organization conducts three competitions annually:

The Summit Creative Award (SCA) – Recognizes creative excellence in companies and individuals with billing under $40 million. The SCA includes all media and industries and evaluates submissions on originality, execution, and persuasion.

The Summit Marketing Effectiveness Award (MEA) – A unique competitive arena where the judging criteria are based on the core purpose of marketing communications: to influence the consumer’s knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs. Judging is based on creative samples and a short brief.

The Summit Emerging Media Award (EMA) – This award was created to identify the world’s communication pioneers, those pushing the bounds of the communication badlands. All forms of emerging media are welcome. Judging evaluates methods, innovation and user interface.
