The 2018 Vision Awards Annual Report Competition re-introduced the Agency of the Year Awards—our effort to recognize the highest performing and most accomplished annual report agencies.
Award recognition was calculated on a point-based system. A point was earned for each award garnered in the categories of (a) competition class, (b) top 100 ranking, (c) worldwide special achievement recognition, (d) regional top 50 ranking, (e) regional special achievement award, and (f) country-based ranking.
There was no minimum participation level for an agency to be eligible for award consideration. In the interest of fairness, the accrual of points could not be leveraged through the submission of a single report registration across more than one industry and/or report type; only the points earned by the highest-earning iteration of the report would be used in the award calculation.
Agencies scoring more than 35 points were recognized with the Platinum Award—approximately the 95th percentile of all award-winning agencies. Agencies scoring more than 20 points were recognized with the Gold Award—approximately the 90th percentile of all award-winning agencies. Agencies scoring more than 10 points were recognized with the Silver Award—approximately the 75th percentile of all award-winning agencies. Agencies scoring more than 4 points were recognized with the Bronze Award—approximately the 50th percentile of all award-winning agencies. |
