Methodology
The Symbol 1000 Index is based on the number and type of awards won by companies across multiple industries in 2025-2026, using publicly available results from leading international awards.

The index considers results from the latest completed editions of Anthem Awards, Cannes Lions, Clio Awards, Effie Awards, Eventex Awards, Globee Awards, Stevie Awards, Symbol Awards, The One Show, TITAN Awards, and Webby Awards.

Points are awarded based on publicly available information. The ranking reflects the index points; companies with the same number of points receive the same ranking.

Certain types of recognition are excluded to maintain consistency and comparability, e.g., cumulative and encouragement distinctions.
The results are compiled using AI-supported analysis and a proprietary formula developed by Symbol Awards, based on 16 years of experience across the Symbol family of awards.
