Official 2010 Loeries rankings

While there can be many ways of analysing any competition, this year the Loeries has introduced official winners rankings which aim to be a transparent mechanism for reporting the outcome of the awards. With the release of the printed Loeries annual, additional rankings will be published, including top 10 tables for all the individual credits, eg ECD, illustrator, writer and director, as well as post production/VFX, etc.
Official 2010 Loeries rankings

How rankings are calculated


  1. Points are given for each award, with the points based on the probability of winning each award.
  2. 300 points for Grand Prix; 110 points for Gold; 40 points for Silver; 15 points for Bronze; 90 points for Craft Gold; 30 points for Craft Certificate.
  3. Single entries that are combined into one campaign award during judging receive 1.5 times the points. For example, if three print posters are combined and awarded a Campaign Gold, then the award will be worth 1.5 x 110 = 165 points.
  4. The following categories are all awarded 1.5 times the points: Mixed-media campaigns; Integrated Campaigns; Design Identity Programmes; Experiential Internal Marketing and CRM Programmes; and Experiential Live Events.
  5. Where more than one company or individual has been credited, the points are divided equally between the parties. For example, if two companies share the "Agency" credit on a digital website, then each company receives half the points; or if three people share the "Writer" credit, then each person will receive a third of the points.
  6. A company cannot receive points as both an agency and as a production company.
  7. Production companies will receive points from International Craft entries; however, agencies will not receive any points.
