The Summit Creative Awards recognizes and celebrates the creative accomplishments of small and medium sized creative groups with annual billings of $25 million or less.  Over the last decade, the competition has established itself as the premier arbiter of creative excellence for firms of this size.  Entries in 13 categories are judged against a stringent set of standards.  During the blind judging events, judges search for innovative and creative concepts, strong executions and the ability to communicate and persuade.

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