Each year, Clio receives more than 20,000 entries from 65 countries. Fewer than 10% reach the shortlist, from which 115 jury members made up of creative leaders from 25 countries re-evaluate the work to determine Gold, Silver and Bronze Clio winners.

Typically less than 3% of entries receive a Clio statue and less than 1% receive a coveted Gold Clio. Each jury also has the option of awarding Clio's highest honor, the Grand Clio, to one truly exceptional piece of work in each medium from the Gold winners chosen.
