Each award has been assigned a predetermined number of points according to recommendations by The Creative Rankings committee.

Canon, in partnership with Leo Burnett, took home six Cannes Lions for its 'EOS Photochains' campaign across a variety of categories, including direct, media, PR and promo & activation in addition to a further seven Spikes awards and one Clios award.

Leo Burnett's Sydney office was behind the campaign under the leadership of ECD Andy Dilallo. In total the advertisers took home 19 awards last year for its work in Australia.
