“Here is a perfect example of the benefits gained from listening to customers. When research indicated that association members felt overwhelmed by the number of eNewsletters they received, the decision was made to send one redesigned eNewsleter per week. The result was a graphically attractive, significantly improved, customized product. Another amazing element contributing to the presentation of a Grand Award, was that of recognizing that too many ads were competing with the content. Thus, the association restricted the number of ads to allow both the ads and the content to shine. All these wise decisions resulted in an open rate far in excess of industry norms.”

“Here’s proof that a large staff is not required for the creation of a high-quality piece of work. Spearheaded by a graphically unique and imaginative front page, the reader is ushered through the issue which, literally, has value on every page. With its high-powered, influential readership, the publisher has a daunting task to gain attention, and succeeds mightily at that task!”

Penn State Health Third Quarter Newsletter

“It’s amazing how so much valuable information can be provided in just 3 pages. The front page starts off with a simple, but compelling look at how modest increases in retirement contributions yield major returns. Then, there are clear, concise guidelines to the process of making sure your retirement decisions are updated and in place, combined with a colorful presentation and what to discuss with on-site reps. For a short newsletter, there’s a ton of useful information here.”

“Diversity – thy name is Alpha Phi Quarterly. In the Fall 2017 issue, the range of articles was wider and more topical than most. From the ‘Food for Thought’ infographic, to the retrospective on the ‘War-Time Women of Alpha-Phi,’ … from the light-hearted content on the ‘cooking’ theme of this issue to the hard-hitting, valuable information on sexual assault ... the editorial content, graphic design and imaginative layout made this entry an easy selection for a Grand Award.”

Engineering Education
"The term 'trade magazine' frequently implies a lack of graphic and editorial appeal. This Grand Award-winning entry destroys that implication as it is a surprising treat visually and addresses the significant challenges faced due to the intertwined worlds of U.S. research and innovation and international students in the new political climate. The publication also addresses the impact of artificial intelligence in the engineering workplace (with a nice touch of humor) and describes a unique online computer science master’s program that offer its readers much more than 'fluff' industry information. This 'trade magazine' truly serves its audience well."

Educational Leadership, December 2017 "Mental Health in Schools"
ASCD
“A magazine with the title ‘Educational Leadership’ carries with it a huge responsibility in today’s fast-moving, social media-dominated society. In this case, the publishers do not disappoint! The December 2017 issue tackles the vitally important issue of ‘Mental Health in Schools,’ and does so in a way that urges both support for those students in need and provides techniques to help them thrive both academically and socially. A truly important issue that should be a part of any K-12 educational institution.”

Well written … well presented. This judge wasn’t hungry before reviewing the entry, but couldn’t wait to get to the kitchen afterward!”

“This could have been an interesting, but number-laden presentation of data. What it IS, is a fascinating and very readable presentation of the leading cities of the world in 12 major industry segments with each one broken out into additional geographical regions. Then, after reviewing all 12 segments, the publisher presents a wonderful section titled “Places for Prosperity,” which provides a snapshot view of an additional 50+ international cities designated as prime candidates for future growth. A wonderful, pleasant, but educational read.”

Here, throughout a large issue of 186 pages, that quality is always present. Featuring informative articles providing valuable basic information on several different medical conditions and “light-reading” on lifestyle and cooking, this quarterly certainly offers great value for the 3 months it is current."

Prevail: Innovation and Impact
Fox Chase Cancer Center
“While many annual reports are adept at fully disclosing ‘the numbers,’ they have a harder time deciding what else to add that would be beneficial for the reader to know. This report offers an interesting look back at over 100 years of cancer research at its facility – one of the first cancer hospitals in the U.S. – and intersperses that recap with information on the current ‘rising stars’ and initiatives being taken. The reader is left with a very clear picture of what has been achieved, and the priority of future goals to achieve.”

It ‘comes to life,’ on the website, however, with interactive capabilities and infographics that enhance the content. A constantly changing landing page provides a nice touch to the main sections on ‘How to Jump-Start Growth,’ ‘Gender Equality’ and ‘Helping Members Manage Debt.” There are also content and design adaptations for desktop, tablet and mobile phone screens. A thorough conversion from print to online.”

“There is a legacy, a defining characteristic, that exists on the campuses of all colleges that have been around for years. One of those are the Penn State elms, which date back to the 1890’s. This fascinating and wonderfully illustrated book traces the history of the stately elms, details the diseases threatening them and describes the university’s commitment to preserving them. The striking photos are pleasure enough, but the stories and Q&A section solidify the selection of this entry as a Grand Award winner.”

“If a person is going to buy just ONE guide to retirement, this should be the one. 321 pages cover every topic imaginable when one is ready to create the retirement plan.

Of course, there are paper checklists and downloadable electronic files that allow the user to easily compile everything needed to create a thorough and manageable retirement plan.”

Replete with printable student guides and a supplementary PowerPoint presentation, this is a MUST for any teen -- or for that matter, anyone -- embarking upon his/her career as a driver.”

If one has a dry eye after viewing that, there is truly something wrong. These employees truly care for each other and their patients and that comes across throughout the video. It’s, unfortunately, an all-too-rare look at how people work together as a team to achieve a common goal.”

"Here is a comic book that was developed as part of an ‘outreach toolkit’ for members to use when sharing about their careers in industrial hygiene with teens. Although in a comic book format, there’s nothing humorous about the huge task confronting the individual responsible for assisting with a severe health issue among volunteers and refugees after the initial trauma of a natural disaster. The steps taken to complete the task show how even the slightest clue can lead to a solution – if one knows what to look for.”

Not surprisingly, the results of incorporating the ‘personal story’ videos into the sales process have been incredibly successful. Proof that in this day and age of texting and emails, the personal touch is still important in closing the sale.”

“Few topics generate more interest today than Health and Wellness, and with the ‘aging of America,’ this electronic guide that explains changes in one’s body over age 50 is a welcome resource. With helpful click-thru videos that address a host of topics that many would not discuss over dinner, (but need to be discussed!), helpful quizzes that enable one to gauge his/her health status, and important information that everyone needs to take charge of their own health, this is an easy, but all-encompassing guide to living healthier – and living longer.”

“This is a 5:30 video that provides an example of how a ‘job’ can be a ‘passion.’ Included is a story of a man who was able to walk his daughter ‘down the aisle,’ and, on the same day, renewed his own vows, thanks to the dedication of the staff. If one has a dry eye after viewing that, there is truly something wrong. These employees truly care for each other and their patients and that comes across throughout the video. It’s, unfortunately, an all-too-rare look at how people work together as a team to achieve a common goal.”

IH Heroes: Tales from the Field (Issue 1)
AIHA
"Here is a comic book that was developed as part of an ‘outreach toolkit’ for members to use when sharing about their careers in industrial hygiene with teens. Although in a comic book format, there’s nothing humorous about the huge task confronting the individual responsible for assisting with a severe health issue among volunteers and refugees after the initial trauma of a natural disaster. The steps taken to complete the task show how even the slightest clue can lead to a solution – if one knows what to look for.”

Reinventing the Wheel
Alcyon Technical Services
“Usually, one seeks to avoid ‘reinventing the wheel.' However, when it comes to space exploration, new technology was needed to do just that. This entry represents a unique multi-media approach to presenting the history, the ‘game-changing’ moment that led to the breakthrough that was needed and the testing process involved. The result of this innovative presentation? Over 360 million media impressions, more than 20,000 unique visits, and an average time investment that tripled the average of other pages on the website.”

“Although this journal is most pertinent to those in the plastic and reconstructive surgery field, the reason it has mass appeal is largely due to the development of its public-facing YouTube channel. Given the highly visual nature of the field, the ability to see high-quality illustrative tools to demonstrate the latest techniques and trends in the field is of great importance. Therefore, ANYONE – from the professionals to members of the general public – can visit the channel and see a wide variety of video (and audio) content. Congratulations to the publisher for accomplishing that rare goal of educating both doctor AND patient.”

"Back to the Future of Edtech: A Meditation"
EDUCAUSE
“‘Understanding the past is important, and thinking about the future is fundamentally human, but more fascinating still is the combination: the history of the future—the road pointing back to where you were, the road pointing ahead to where you're going, and the moment at the crossroads contemplating both.’ So begins the narrative of this absolutely wonderful, multi-media look back and look at the future. The imaginative layout intentionally uses numerous images and pull-out style headers, multiple embedded videos and captivates its audience – particularly those who remember the 5 ¼" floppy disk!”

Humanizing Healthcare Finance
First American Healthcare Finance
“It is rare that a finance company opens its doors to show the passion its employees have for the careers they have chosen. Through a series of short ‘personal story’ videos, the viewer gets a closer look at the commitment the employees from this organization have to provide care for patients and communities. Not surprisingly, the results of incorporating the ‘personal story’ videos into the sales process have been incredibly successful. Proof that in this day and age of texting and emails, the personal touch is still important in closing the sale.”

“ ‘Phishing’ is a dangerous attempt on the part of unscrupulous entities to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by pretending to be legitimate businesses. This program is so informative and thorough that it should be marketed to the general public. It provides step-by-step guidance on how to identify dangerous emails and avoid a possible successful ‘cyber-attack.’ With the unfortunate prevalence of these types of emails, this educational program will keep safe anyone who spends the few minutes it takes to view it.”

All the events take place in local parks, have activities for ‘children of all ages’ and involve local merchants to encourage neighbors to patronize the neighborhood establishments. Very impressive!

Workplace discrimination is, unfortunately, a fact of life, and this entry tackles it head-on.

Watching the video that is the cornerstone of this entry, showing the journey of three victims of life-changing health problems, should be a requirement for anyone who thinks that ‘mind over matter’ is just a foolish adage. Inspirational without being maudlin, this is an impressive presentation from a facility that truly appreciates its patients and its donors.”

“Choosing a college is one of those ‘life’ decisions that is usually a difficult process. Stockton created a wonderful marketing/public relations campaign using a theme of ‘choose to…’ followed by at least ten ‘options.’ Emphasizing the message that students could benefit from real-life experiences in addition to classroom studies, the campaign included TV commercials, videos of student profiles on the website, web advertising, social media and even outdoor advertising – all carefully designed to ensure a consistent look and feel throughout. Attention to analytics allowed for real-time editing on all electronic formats, making this as close to a 'live" campaign as it could get!"

Corporate Communications Strategy
Town of Saugeen Shores
“Here’s an interesting look at how a town government that REALLY cares about its residents seeks to engage them in two-way communications. First, the town council developed a strategy through research with staff through surveys and focus groups, along with extensive external research involving the community and businesses. The result was an unbelievably thorough and itemized list of challenges/objectives and solutions to each that would be addressed over a 3-year period. Kudos for a truly comprehensive public service campaign!”

“When life deals you a glancing blow, it takes all one has inside to fight. Watching the video that is the cornerstone of this entry, showing the journey of three victims of life-changing health problems, should be a requirement for anyone who thinks that ‘mind over matter’ is just a foolish adage. Inspirational without being maudlin, this is an impressive presentation from a facility that truly appreciates its patients and its donors.”

Choose Stockton
Stockton University
“Choosing a college is one of those ‘life’ decisions that is usually a difficult process. Stockton created a wonderful marketing/public relations campaign using a theme of ‘choose to…’ followed by at least ten ‘options.’ Emphasizing the message that students could benefit from real-life experiences in addition to classroom studies, the campaign included TV commercials, videos of student profiles on the website, web advertising, social media and even outdoor advertising – all carefully designed to ensure a consistent look and feel throughout. Attention to analytics allowed for real-time editing on all electronic formats, making this as close to a 'live" campaign as it could get!"

Corporate Communications Strategy
Town of Saugeen Shores
“Here’s an interesting look at how a town government that REALLY cares about its residents seeks to engage them in two-way communications. First, the town council developed a strategy through research with staff through surveys and focus groups, along with extensive external research involving the community and businesses. The result was an unbelievably thorough and itemized list of challenges/objectives and solutions to each that would be addressed over a 3-year period. Kudos for a truly comprehensive public service campaign!”

Pirates and Pearls-It's VIA's 30th Year of Voyage!
VIA Marketing
“The 30th anniversary of a marketing company offers a time to reminisce, and this look back is truly a celebration of achievement and just plain fun! ‘Pirates and Pearls’ is an imaginative digital campaign celebrating the agency’s vast accomplishments and the expertise acquired over those 30 years. 30 ‘pearls of marketing wisdom,’ (one for each year) were placed on a treasure map using social media, videos and a contest that one could enter to win a 'pirate treasure.' So unique, it is an excellent public relations piece for a truly innovative marketing company.”

“There are crimes…and then there are heinous crimes. Gutless thieves that prey on the elderly are part of society, so this entry, which arms AARP members of all ages, is one that should be ‘at the ready’ for everyone. Telephone scams … online scams … mail scams … vacationer scams … credit card scams … all these are inflicted upon the innocent in huge numbers, and the writers in this issue take great pains to provide as much guidance as possible to help people to avoid being the next fraud statistic. This judge decided to keep a copy.”

Redesigning Care: Emory University Creates a Unique Consultative Environmentto Deepen Radiology’s Role in the Provision of Patient-Centered Cancer Care
American College of Radiology
“The role of the radiologist in patient care is one that is usually restricted to interpretation of medical tests. This well-written, informative article describes an initiative to establish communication directly between the patient and the radiologist. The challenges faced and benefits gained are laid out in an easy-to-read format that leads to the conclusion that 93% of patients in the program wanted to review future test results directly with the radiologist. A thought-provoking piece.”

ASH Clinical News - Contract Research Agonizations
American Society of Hematology
“There are very few medical articles that include phrases like ‘the lotharios of labs …’, … ‘are an invasive weed – an administrative kudzu …’ or ‘…as the troglodytes of trial torture!’ However, this is an impassioned, extremely well-constructed and, at times, unfortunately humorous editorial, written by a physician truly concerned about patient care and the red tape that compromises it at times. The opinion of the writer with regard to the truly nonsensical protocol is very convincing, and elicited an impassioned response, including a reader from France whose letter included 80 signatories to express their support. This article truly made a difference.”

Truckers Shine Light on a Hidden Crime
APICS
“One would not expect a ‘trade magazine’ about supply chain management to include an intense, hard-hitting interview about a topic as sensitive as human trafficking. However, this entry shines with how it deals with this upsetting topic. Truckers are on the road ALL the time, and, when the FBI revealed a statistic that women and children were being forced into prostitution at truck stops, the subject of this interview acted. Through diligence, the creation of a national hotline and just plain hard work, this individual initiated a program that has resulted in over 1,800 calls, resulting in more than 500 cases involving close to 1,000 victims. A riveting interview that shows one person CAN make a difference.”

“This is a fascinating 6-part series, published over the course of a year, documenting the challenges and opportunities of growing an innovation-based business. In this particular case, the NIH termed the technology developed by this company as ‘a marvel in engineering.’ The series dives into the steps taken that brought this business from the idea stage to the implementation stage. Starting with a company overview, and progressing through the process of assembling a team, financing, dealing with regulatory requirements, the role of outside advisors and what lies ahead, the series captivates the reader and leaves one with the belief that anything is possible if you work for it.”

Because Women's Lives Matter, We Need to Eliminate Gender Bias
Critical Care Nurse
“The prominent belief in health care is that all patients, regardless of gender, are treated equally, based on their condition. This editorial challenges that belief with convincing data as well as personal experience. Surprising though it may be, the writer proves that gender bias is real and concludes her editorial with an excellent ‘bullet-point’ summary of how to eliminate this bias. This should be required reading for all medical practitioners.”

But when the ‘company’ is a medical facility, it takes on a whole new meaning.

It is a powerful column that definitely leaves a lasting impression on its readers.”

It is refreshing to read about the CEO of a financial company that truly understands that there are those much less fortunate. Even more refreshing to read about how that individual has a strong desired to help them. As one reads this interview and sees comments like ‘Treat everyone from top to bottom the same way,’ and ‘I really do care about making a big and positive impact,’ one is left with a feeling of thanks that there still are good people with strong moral character among the financially elite.”

“This entry was an op-ed piece that appeared on World Sight Day in October. It is a sobering reminder to the more than 30 million adults who are at high risk for vision-related disease have not had a comprehensive eye exam in over a year. That fact. combined with the statistic that 8 million people (double the amount today) will have some form of eye disease by 2050 AND the fact that 80% of blindness and visual impairment can be cured resulted in this judge making an eye-care appointment immediately after reading this piece.”

“Stories of drug addiction – what leads to it and the end result – are particularly hard-hitting. What sets this one apart from many is how even ‘good people’ can fall victim to the grips of addiction, and the unbelievable statistics – such as that fact that more Pennsylvanians (3,500) died from drug overdoses in one year than from vehicle crashes. The long road to sobriety --and the benefits from dedicating one’s life to traveling down that road – is described in great detail with great passion.”

It also highlights all the physicians and researchers who followed her on this journey, and who have shaped the future of cancer treatment.

“While recent years have led to a greater understanding of the mental and emotional impact one experiences when told he/she has cancer, this series explains that more progress needs to be made. The reader is led through a well-organized presentation starting with the difference between ‘em’pathy and ‘sym’pathy, the clinical importance of communication between doctor and patient, and steps currently being taken to increase medical practitioner empathy without the age-old fear of getting ‘too close’ to the patient.”

“Here’s a fascinating account of the first child with a particular form of cancer to be treated with her own immune cells, leading to full remission. It also highlights all the physicians and researchers who followed her on this journey, and who have shaped the future of cancer treatment. While the article details the clinical aspects of the treatment, it also provides a vivid and personal story of the impact of this disease on both the child and her family. An inspiring piece.”

“When you hear of a movement to make the Monday after the Super Bowl a “national day off,” you begin to understand the immensity of the event. Therefore, the official program needs to reflect the size and scope of the game, particularly in its design, graphics and layout. One look at the rich, simple but striking cover is proof enough that those involved knew how to make sure a lavish, impressive guide to the game. The anticipated high-quality player photos are sprinkled throughout in a layout that makes it an easy to either thumb through casually, or delve into to win the net Super Bowl Trivia contest!”

Beautifully illustrated, the company seizes the ‘super-hero’ technique with colorful, vibrant design and imaginative copy. This judge particularly liked ‘the Razor,’ who ‘cuts through mailbox and inbox clutter’ and ‘rips into new projects …’ Extremely clever project that is sure to evoke positive results.”

“A truly super-natural illustration, this cover page is an artist’s rendition of a scenario where an antenna for a Mars rover has direct-to-Earth communication capability. The imagination and creative design of the cover compels the reader to delve into the story, and what more can a cover do than to do just that? Particularly notable is the way the designer combined two different images for the astronaut in the picture – the thought of an astronaut holding an iPad on Mars … well … what will they think of next?”

Think that would make you curious to see what this was all about? Well, this is the lead-in to a section entitled ‘Mended Little Hearts,' which annually hosts the ‘#RockYourScar’ photo contest. This great contest allows those living with congenital heart disease to submit pictures of themselves living their lives and embracing their condition. 800 photos were submitted and 800 lives were enriched.”

“There are few topics in today’s world more discussed and debated than cyber-security and that is this particular issue’s main focus. The cover image immediately conveys the reality that cyber attackers are out there and the harm that they can inflict can be immeasurable on many levels. Using cover stock art for the main image, the art director very imaginatively placed part of the image behind the masthead to complement the stealth of the attacker. The image combined with the ominous headline and shadowing effect completes a wonderfully designed and unique cover.”

Brutal Battles of Vietnam
VFW Magazine
“Some 'coffee table' books gather dust. This is not one of them. A massive, thoroughly researched effort, this is a pure and simple combat history -- told through the eyes of the fighting troops on the ground, the grunts. The book focuses on the deadliest battles during the 1965 - 1972 period, and there are many. It is a superb record of the achievements of those who fought, covering the well-known battles and those virtually unknown. Photos are compelling, very well chosen and reinforced with excellent, in-depth captions. The photography frames the exceptionally well-written narratives -- each a powerful example of the storyteller's art. If you weren't there, this surely is the next best thing.”

This is definitely an ‘all-in-one’ support guide, including a welcome packet that outlines the potential side effects and CSC (Cancer Support Community) resources … a side effects journal (available either online or in hard copy) for the patient to use as a tracking method … and a pocket guide for the patient to carry around. There is just a ton of information in this series that can help those who choose this form of treatment make the long journey less terrifying. Great job.”

Central Valley Flood Protection Plan 2017 Update
CH2M
“Most government-issued documents are not very ‘user-friendly’ to read, but are not meant to be read like a novel. This entry is an extremely well-crafted document that includes 2 brief, informative and graphically appealing booklets that summarize the investment strategy highlights and the operational highlights of the Central Valley Flood Protection Plan. For those interested in the details, there is a full 210-page document – also very easy-to-review and partitioned in such a way that it is easy for one to focus on their particular area of interest. It’s the graphics, the layout and the efficient organization that sets this apart from most government communications efforts.”

If I knew of someone in an abusive relationship, I would make sure to get them a copy of this guide.”

Brutal Battles of Vietnam
VFW Magazine
“Some 'coffee table' books gather dust. This is not one of them. A massive, thoroughly researched effort, this is a pure and simple combat history -- told through the eyes of the fighting troops on the ground, the grunts. The book focuses on the deadliest battles during the 1965 - 1972 period, and there are many. It is a superb record of the achievements of those who fought, covering the well-known battles and those virtually unknown. Photos are compelling, very well chosen and reinforced with excellent, in-depth captions. The photography frames the exceptionally well-written narratives -- each a powerful example of the storyteller's art. If you weren't there, this surely is the next best thing.”
