All entries to the Summit Creative Awards were reviewed and scored by a panel of fifteen judges representing many of today's top creative agencies worldwide. "When I saw a good spot, I could actually see the guys who made it. Their eyes full of passion, their creative integrity and above all their conviction and commitment toward superlative communication," said Saurabh Dasgupta. Mr. Dasgupta, one of the judges in this year's competition, is head of the creative team at Innocean Worldwide in India.

The twelve-year-old competition has established itself as one of the premier arbiters of creative excellence.
