Each year, much interest is focused on the winners of Spikes Asia. The campaigns, agencies, clients, networks and countries that have been successful are given a platform across the region. But before there are winners, there’s judging. Enormous consideration is given to who will judge the work and how.

Guided by the Jury President, judges review and debate entries in the shortlist before voting on whether they consider each a Gold, Silver or Bronze winner, or Shortlist only. It takes a two-thirds majority vote to claim a trophy.

After voting, results are read out and juries confirm the decisions. Candidates for Grand Prix, selected from among Gold winners, are also identified and further discussion follows before a last vote to determine the Grand Prix winner.
