“Best of BrandEx” ranking allows comparison of creative achievements across all award years
On 3 March 2021 the curtain went up for the BrandEx Awards ceremony 2021 with lots of surprises for the guests. Among other highlights, this year’s hybrid award-giving event themed “An Evening among Friends” saw the premiere of the BoB, the Best of the Best ranking of the BrandEx Awards. The host and master of ceremonies at the Berlin event location Spreespeicher was Aljoscha Höhn.
The BoB ranking, which started with the first BrandEx year 2019, makes it possible to compare the quality of submissions across all award years. It is based on a points system and is derived directly from the jury evaluations. Each year, the prestigious jury members can award up to 1,000 points to each submission. The BoB ranking allows an identification of the differences in the levels of creative achievement across all award years.
The ranking already provides an excellent overview and comparison of award-winning projects. A results list of all BrandEx years is available on the BrandEx website www.brand-ex.org, but for the first time this year, the list also includes accumulated numbers from the three previous BrandEx Awards years. The “BoB” ranking as “List of All-Time Bests” will from now on be published on an annual basis.
All entries on the shortlist and all winners receive points. The BrandEx year 2021 considers winning submissions only. As the year was dominated by the challenges of the pandemic, the organisers decided not to produce a shortlist but to only distinguish between winners and non-winners. The 38 award-winning entries to the BrandEx Awards 2021 received 750 points or more.
In total, 101 submissions were made to the competition. The awards honoured outstanding live communication projects in five winner clusters: Architecture, Planning/Craft/Production, Crossmedia, Event and Formats. Unlike in the past, the award ceremony on 3 March 2021 did not see the awarding of gold, silver or bronze trophies. All award winners received the BrandEx Special Award in white for their successful projects.
