A Cresta winner in 2015. Cresta stands for Creative Standards. As the name suggests, the aim of the awards is to honour an absolute standard for creative excellence in advertising and marketing communications. Work will be evaluated within categories, but Cresta will not operate on the basis of "category winners". More than one Cresta winner may be announced as winning Grand Prix, Gold, Silver' or Bronze trophies in those categories where standards are high, or none at all if the judges consider that the standard is not achieved.
