Best of the IBA Awards

The Best of the IBA Awards are best-of-competition prizes that will be 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 will be awarded the Grand Stevie® Award trophy.

These awards cannot be applied for directly.  The first three award-winners listed below will be determined by a points system based on the total number of awards won in the IBAs, 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 IBA 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 IBA winners will also be awarded the exclusive right to use a unique Grand Stevie Award winner logo.

The awards for consideration are:

ORGANIZATION OF THE YEAR: Will be presented to the organization with the most award points earned in the 2024 competition

MOST HONORED MARKETING AGENCY: Will be presented to the marketing agency that garnered the most award points, in their own name or in the names of one or more clients

MOST HONORED PUBLIC RELATIONS AGENCY: Will be presented to the PR agency that garnered the most award points, in their own name or in the names of one or more clients

HIGHEST-RATED NOMINATION OF THE YEAR: Will be presented to the organization that submitted the highest-scoring nomination in the entire competition, regardless of category

HIGHEST-RATED NEW PRODUCT OR SERVICE NOMINATION OF THE YEAR: Will be presented to the organization that submitted the highest-scoring new product or service nomination in the New Product or Service categories
