Depending on the category the judges will give more attention to one or more criteria.
For example: in the category Direct response, the criterias Results and ROI will be the most important criteria, so if a case submitted in this category has a brilliant strategy, a fabulous design and the perfect mix of media but lousy results, the case will never win the award in the Direct Response category.
