HOW THE TOP AGENCIES ARE DETERMINED
We first screen agencies to ensure they've submitted the minimum
number of
winning entries required. We then calculate their average based
only
on their highest-scoring entries, the number of which will be the
same as the minimum entry requirement. Ties are broken based on the
highest rank achieved within the Top 100 results.
So, if an agency submitted 10 annual reports for this year's
competition, only the six highest scoring reports would be used to determine
that agency's average.
Through this scoring system, agencies submitting a large
quantity of entries will not be penalized if some submissions fair
considerably worse than others; instead, they'll have equal footing versus an
agency submitting six high-end entries.
