QuestionsandAnswersAboutAPEX2017

The 29th

Annual

Awards for

Publication

Excellence

Competition

Sponsored by

the Editors

of Writer’s

Web Watch and

the Writing That

Works Archives

How were awards presented?APEX 2017 awards were based on excellence in graphic design, editorial content and the successof the entry—in the opinion of the judges—in achieving overall communications effectivenessand excellence. Naturally, entries in design categories were judged solely on the basis of their graphic design,and writing entries were evaluated primarily on the basis of editorial quality.

How many entries were there? How many awards were given?1,361 entries were evaluated, in the following distribution:Newsletters: 92; Magazines, Journals & Tabloids: 304; Annual Reports: 53; Print Media: 101;Electronic Media: 115; Social Media: 53; Websites: 72; Campaigns, Programs & Plans: 93;Writing: 257; Design & Illustration: 161; One-of-a-Kind Publications: 60. A total of 100 APEX Grand Awards were presented in 11 major categories to honor theoutstanding works in those categories. 543 APEX Awards of Excellence recognize excellence in100 individual categories. For the number of awards presented in each main category, please refer to the list of winningentries on the following pages.

How competitive were the entries?Very. Each year, the quality of entries increases. Overall, this year’s entries displayed anextraordinary level of quality. The APEX judges saw only the most promising publications thatprofessional communicators could enter. From them, they had the truly difficult task of selecting theaward-winning entries.

Did low-budget entries stand a chance?Yes. Many of the winning entries in APEX 2017 were inexpensively produced. The APEX judgesoften were more impressed by the quality of creative ideas and concepts shown by entries than theywere by the expense entailed in their execution. Many of the award-winning entries in this and earlier APEX competitions are classic examplesof good ideas, imaginatively executed, despite limitations due to tight budgets, limited resources andsmall staff.

Who are the APEX judges?The panel of judges included John De Lellis, Concepts Editor & Publisher, Ken Turtoro, notedpublishing and marketing executive, circulation consultant and senior APEX judge, ChristineTurner, Contributing Editor of the Writing That Works Archives and Bill Londino, Consulting Editorof Writer’s Web Watch.

What does Communications Concepts, the APEX sponsor, do?Communications Concepts, Inc. helps publishing, PR and marketing professionals improvepublications and communications programs through consulting services and reports on businesswriting and communications. Concepts also publishes Writer’s Web Watch, an e-newsletter on print, Web, electronic and socialmedia, and the Writing That Works Archives, a resource for business communicators.

How is the list of winning entries organized?Grand Award winners are listed by main category. Award of Excellence winners are listed withineach subcategory, alphabetically by organization. (Winning entries from individuals are listedalphabetically by last name at the end of each subcategory.)
