Judging and Awarding:
Entries are judged to evaluate distinction in creative work. In determining Gold and Silver winners, entries are judged on their merits based on a standard of excellence as determined by the AIVA, considering the category entered. A category may have multiple Gold and Silver Winners, or may have none. Entries are scored on a hundred-point scale by the judges. Generally, Gold Winners receive a score of 90 or above and Silver Winners receive a score of 70 to 89. No more than 10% of entries will be awarded a Gold Davey. Best in Show selections are made by the Academy, from the pool of Gold Winners, based on their scoring and other elements of merit as determined by the Academy. The judges will award 13 Best in Show honours, one for each medium. Please visit daveyawards.com for a complete list of winners.

Why are they called Davey?
David defeated the mighty Goliath with a big idea and a little rock. That is the sort of thing small agencies do every day. The Davey Awards recognize the achievement of the “Creative David’s”, where strength comes from ideas, intelligence, and out-of-the-box thinking, not a giant bankroll. Great work is about exceptional ideas and flawless execution, not the biggest budgets. The Daveys level the playing field so entrants compete with only their peers, and winners can gain the recognition they
deserve
