A Curator's Recognition was given to Nike's Jogger, out of Wieden Kennedy, and directed by Lance Acord of Park Pictures.

In the AICP Next Awards, the Most Next honor went to R/GA's Nike Nike Fuelband. The winner of the Most Next honor directs a $5,000 grant from the AICP Foundation to an educational institution of their choosing.

On the agency front, Wieden Kennedy topped the honors with 17, followed by BBH (7); McCann (5); R/GA (5); and DDB (4).

The Art & Technique of the American Commercial has a bifurcated judging system, which begins with a series of judging panels featuring over 400 judges from across the country and around the world, with experts in various fields judging work across the 23 categories. The process culminates in the meeting of the Curatorial Committee, which is the final arbiter in the disposition of the Show, confirming eligibility and appropriateness to category.
