- Cannes Lions awards one point to shortlists that do not win metal, capped at 10 points per agency.
- In case of a campaign with multiple executions that wins, each execution among shortlists is also awarded a point. Cannes Lions has clarified that this does not fall under shortlist points, and hence the 10-point cap does not apply to such points.
- In case of agencies tied on score, the one with more maximum metals is deemed to be ahead.

(Amended at 23.00 hrs on 28 June to reflect an additional point for Ogilvy & Mather India, which moves the agency to the top of the India tally. We regret the error in tabulation, which has been corrected following a clarification from Lions Festivals.)
