The 22nd Annual Apex Awards for Publication Excellence recently released its list of winners for 2010.
The Apex Awards competition recognizes outstanding publications – from newsletters and magazines to annual reports, brochures, web sites, training materials, and special publications.
In this year’s competition, more than 4,000 entries were received in over 100 categories!
According to the APEX 2010 judges, “The awards were based on excellence in design, quality of content and the success of the entry in conveying the message and achieving overall communications effectiveness.”
Amy Franko, Founder & CEO of Impact Instruction Group, received an Award of Excellence for her training design and materials created for client Melissa Giovagnoli, best-selling author of Networlding. Giovagnoli is also the Founder & CEO of Networlding, a social media marketing and publishing firm based in Chicago.
Giovagnoli’s book was adapted into a facilitator and participant guide for use within organizations and by independent facilitators. According to Giovagnoli,
“The finished product, a set of facilitator and participant guides, exceeded all of my expectations. The activities alone make a big difference in teaching the concepts of Networlding. My facilitators and clients have benefitted greatly from the overall design, organization, and instructional strategies.”
Each year the competition becomes more and more refined; to be selected for Award of Excellence from over 4,000 entries is a prestigious honor for Impact Instruction Group.
