How were awards presented?APEX 2018 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?1,408 entries were evaluated, in the following distribution:Newsletters: 102; Magazines, Journals & Tabloids: 287; Annual Reports: 41; Print Media: 97;Electronic Media: 111; Social Media: 54; Apps: 11; Websites: 80; Campaigns, Programs & Plans: 109;Writing: 284; Design & Illustration: 163; One-of-a-Kind Publications: 69. A total of 100 APEX Grand Awards were presented in 12 major categories to honor theoutstanding works in those categories. 556 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 anexceptional 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 selectingthe award-winning entries.
Did low-budget entries stand a chance?Yes. Many of the winning entries in APEX 2018 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 Ken Turtoro, APEX Senior Judge and Concepts Executive Editor,John De Lellis, Concepts Editor & Publisher, Christine Turner, Contributing Editor of theWriting That Works Archives and Bill Londino, Consulting Editor of Writer’s Web Watch.
