The ARC Awards, established by MerComm, Inc. in 1987, were
created to honor overall excellence in annual reports, and to
encourage noteworthy and vital writing, as well as imaginative and

designers, and photographers from over 90 different agencies and
corporations in the United States, Australia, Austria, Belgium,
Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, New
Zealand, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and the United Kingdom.
Judges ranked the annual reports with a score
between one and one hundred. The top 30% scoring annual reports won
Gold, Silver, Bronze and Honors Awards.
Criteria used to choose winners included Cover
