APEX is judged on the work, not the size of the team behind it. The organizations above are the ones you are most likely to recognize, but awards go every year to independent publishers, one-person communications departments, freelancers, small agencies and volunteer-run societies — every entry is judged against the same criteria, whoever submits it.

1,700+ published titles read by our judges

Publishing is the discipline APEX was built around, and it shows in how entries are read: not as marketing assets, but as edited work — structure, headline writing, pacing, art direction, whether the issue holds together. Judges have worked through more than 1,700 published titles from 79 organizations in the past seven years, so an APEX win is peer recognition from people who do the same job and know which parts were hard.

Respected in your field — and outside it

APEX is not a publishing & media award. It is a communications and publishing award that publishing & media teams win — which is exactly what makes it worth entering. Your work is not judged against a small pool of peers who share your constraints and your vocabulary. It is judged on writing, design, editing and editorial excellence against annual reports, magazines, campaigns and websites from every field APEX covers. Win here and you have two things at once: standing with the people who know your subject, and independent proof that your team can hold its own as communicators anywhere.
