APEX 2004 Grand Award WinnersThe APEX Awards attract many outstanding entries. Of the nearly 5,500 entries in APEX 2004, just 100 Grand Award Winners were selected. Many of the following selected Grand Award Winners include judges' comments, and, where possible, links each entrant's site. Where direct links to a specific publication or project are not available, we'll link to the organization's main Web site and/or closely related pages. Links are current when posted, but are subject to change and revision by the award-winning entrants. For example, the link may take you to the latest issue of a winning entry, but not the exact award-winning issue. You'll find judges' comments about the 2004 Grand Award Winners, and links to their Web sites where available, until all 100 are posted, so please check back often.Newsletter | Magazines & Journals | Magapapers & Newspapers | Annual Reports | Brochures, Manuals & Reports | Video & Electronic Publications | Web & Intranet Sites | Campaigns, Programs & Plans | Writing | Design & Illustration | Special Publications Newsletters Language TipsBaxter Publishing, Hilversum, The Netherlands."A very well-researched and written weekly e-mail newsletter helps its Dutch English-speaking audience understand the idioms and culture of different countries.

Web site of the dayCHICAGO EDITORS ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS ONLINE --
If the new (15th) edition of The Chicago Manual of Style doesn't tell you all you need to know, ask the editors at their new Web site.
They post questions and answers they consider useful. While a few questions indicate people don't bother to open their style books or haven't been paying attention to changes in usage in the last 20 years, others bring up interesting issues.
One new question comes from a corporate communicator who wants to know whether to fight a grating expression, "visibility into," or accept it as a legitimate term.
We say, "Fight, fight, fight!" To find out what Chicago editors think, visit the site. While you're there, sign up for the updates. What we do Learn how Concepts' resources can help you improve your writing, editing and publications. | | |
