The 28th

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 2016 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?1,634 entries were evaluated, in the following distribution:Newsletters: 137; Magazines, Journals & Tabloids: 347; Annual Reports: 71; Print Media: 97;Electronic Media: 143; Social Media: 62; Websites: 102; Campaigns, Programs & Plans: 106;Writing: 335; Design & Illustration: 164; One-of-a-Kind Publications: 70. A total of 86 APEX Grand Awards were presented in 11 major categories to honor theoutstanding works in those categories. 632 APEX Awards of Excellence recognize excellence in 100individual 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 2016 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 executive and Marketing Director with the New York firm of Shain+Oringer,Christine Turner, Contributing Editor of the Writing That Works Archives andBill Londino, Consulting Editor of 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.
