Grand Stevie Award Winners
The Best of the ABA Awards are five best-of-competition prizes that are awarded to the organizations that submit the best body of work to the competition, in their own name or in the names of one or more clients. The winners of these prizes are awarded the Grand Stevie® Award trophy.
These awards cannot be applied for directly. Winners are determined by a points system based on the total number of awards won in the ABAs, with a Gold Stevie win counting for 3 points, a Silver Stevie for 2 points, and a Bronze Stevie counting for 1.5. Points cannot be counted more than once in calculating Best of the ABA winners (i.e., points won by an agency in its client's name cannot be counted a second time in the agency's name).
Best of the ABA winners will also be awarded the exclusive right to use a unique Grand Stevie Award winner logo.
