Participation Grand Prix.
Aka pay for play
All silver winners were awarded a joint gold as well.

You’re telling me you’ve never seen a 7 way tie at the Oscars? You don’t remember the 7 NFL stars who shared the MVP last year?
(1) APG award entry fees are low and the org is run like a school field trip so this really isn't about pay to play or selling tables
(2) Sharing the GP across all the gold winners is a cop-out, especially for a profession and a jury that is all about assessing what's most effective. If this was Cannes, the supervisors would have locked the jurors in a room until white smoke emerged from the chimney.
I might not share this opinion with everyone, but it makes me a little bit sad. We need to reserve brilliance for when it’s brilliance. I’m sorry but you got a celebrity with the same name as your product to do your advertising and spend some decent media money – that was a creative idea not a strategic leap.

I’d like to award a joint Like to all commenters in this thread. Congrats all, you did it.
This is what Cannes does
