2012 Gold Award: The BOMA Magazine

January 12, 2013 By admin

Annual or Quarterly Magazine or Journal

The BOMA Magazine

Judge’s Comments: Judging this contest you have to consider all facets: editorial, layout, advertising, frequency, etc. BOMA has a total package. The content is strong and relevant. Layout is pleasing, not overwhelming in any sense. The tone of the advertising also suits the editorial content and layout, and appears to be at least 50 percent of the book, which is a good ratio, business wise.

2012 Silver Award: Kappa Delta Pi Record

Annual or Quarterly Magazine or Journal

Kappa Delta Pi Record

Judge’s Comments: Even to a non-education-oriented reader, they’ve made the profession understandable and interesting. I really appreciate the straightforward layout, too – journal–esque in feel, magazine-pleasing to the eye. The essay in the “Page 22″ column was compelling copy, for sure.

2012 Bronze Award: International Wood: The Guide to Applications, Sources & Trends (2012)

International Wood: The Guide to Applications, Sources & Trends (2012)

Judge’s Comments: Beautiful photos and layout, befitting the content. However, sometimes it was hard to distinguish between advertising from editorial by glance-through. Hairline dividing lines might be the easy fix. Great article on “man caves,” especially since differing views are included, demonstrating an editorial objectivity sometimes not found in association publications. Like the editorial tone, too, casual and my guess, perfect for the intended reader.

ASCA School Counselor: LGBTQ Issues

Judge’s Comments: This issue excelled in all the criteria—appearance, layout, style, content, appropriateness and effectiveness. The single topic issue highlighted the issues that gay/lesbian students deal with in school on a regular basis. The striking cover design immediately draws you into this issue. The editorial sets a personal tone for this issue that continues through the columns and well written features. The graphics and illustrations for each feature story catch your attention as you read the compelling content. The writing and the content clearly achieve this association’s mission. The association submitted another well written and beautifully designed issue; but the content of this single issue stands out as the gold winner in this category.

2011 Silver Award: SkillsUSA Champions

January 20, 2012 By admin

Annual or Quarterly Magazine or Journal

SkillsUSA Champions

Judge’s Comments: The well written statement of purpose captured my attention.  This title is written and designed in-house and all the cover models are actual student members.  The editorial, columns and features are all focused on “success stories” about the student members involved in training programs for technical, skilled and service occupations.  This submitted issue lives up to the mission statement with excellent and focused content and clean and easy to read design elements. This organization has a strong web presence and a digital version to further enhance its commitment to the members.  In addition, this magazine has increased circulation and advertising revenue since it was introduced in 2002.  This is another sign of success for the organization.

2011 Bronze Award: The Face of Today’s Audience: A Special Edition of The Voice (quarterly magazine)

January 20, 2012 By admin

Annual or Quarterly Magazine or Journal

The Face of Today's Audience: A Special Edition of The Voice (quarterly magazine)

Judge’s Comments:This organization devoted the entire issue to the subject of exploring today’s audience from various perspectives.  They invited a music journalist as guest editor to help them shape the content for this very successful and engaging issue.  The editorial sets the tone to find out about their audience, what they want and how they are changing.  The well written feature stories do an excellent job of exploring these issues and challenges.  There is a compelling design element for the opening spread of each feature story that leads you into the content.  The graphics for each feature complement each story as well. The single focus nature of this issue paid off through multiple requests for copies and PDF version that is available to members for distribution.  This issue was extremely successful in addressing an important challenge to its members
