Lash Publications International Wins Eighth Apex Award

Lash Publications International is pleased to announce that it has received its eighth Award of Excellence from the APEX Awards for Publication Excellence. The award was received in the technical writing category for "Virtual Building for Construction Projects,” by Laurel M. Sheppard, published in the January/February 2004 issue of IEEE’s Computer Graphics and Applications magazine.

The judges commented that the article displayed solid, well-structured writing and well-researched content. “We liked the way that the functional captions tied the illustrations to the text. And we thought the sidebars showcasing related articles and links were especially useful.”

The writing category (both Feature and Technical) had a total of 884 entries. The panel of judges included John De Lellis, editor & publisher of Communications Concepts; Dr. Paul Fisher, Concepts senior evaluator and former professor of journalism at the University of Missouri School of Journalism; and Nancy Rathbun Scott, contributing editor of Writing that Works: The Business Communications Report.

Sponsored by Communications Concepts, publishers of business communication reports, including Writing That Works, this is the 16th year of the competition program, which had 5,462 entries in 11 major categories and 109 sub-categories. APEX 2004 awards were based on excellence in graphic design, editorial content and the success of the entry -- in the opinion of the judges -- in achieving overall communications effectiveness and excellence.

This brings the total number of APEX awards Lash Publications International has received to eight. Previous awards were received in 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, and 1996.
