Midas Report points are calculated as follows: King Midas Award, 9 points; Gold Ingot Award, 6 points; Silver Ingot Award, 4 points; and Finalist,1 point.

 

In addition to the inaugural Midas Report, a 10 Year Midas Awards Anniversary Report was created in 2010, honoring the most creative and accomplished companies throughout the history of the competition.  

In 2010,  the Midas Awards unveiled the Midas Report which recognizes and ranks the most successful companies in the financial advertising and marketing communications industry.   The second annual Midas Report  will be released in early December following the selection of the 2011 Midas Award winners by the Midas Awards Grand Jury.
