ASBPE
names Magazine of the Year winners
Two computer
titles win top awards.

 |
| Computerworld was named Magazine of the Year among magazines with revenue of $2 million or more; SC Magazine topped the less than $2 million division. |
Computerworld and SC Magazine took
top honors as the 2010 winners of the
annual Magazine of the Year competition.
The contest is part of the annual Azbee
Awards of Excellence sponsored by the
American Society of Business Publication
Editors (ASBPE).
A panel of judges selects 10 finalists
in categories for publications with revenues
of $2 million or more, and of less than
$2 million, and then chooses a winner
in each division. Judges from the professional
B2B magazine-editing world evaluated
three consecutive issues from each entrant,
examining their writing, reporting, and
editing; their usefulness to and interactivity
with readers; editorial organization;
and layout and design.
Computerworld beat out nine other finalists to win
the prestigious award. Judges selected the magazine as
the winner in the over $2 million category due to its
nice design, great use of illustrations, organization
and clean look. One judge said the magazine was “amazing
for a weekly publication,” and another said “it
tackles timely issues and it’s well done.”
SC Magazine won
in the under $2 million category for
its “clean
design” and “well organized
layout.” One of the judges said,
“you know where you are in the
publication,” while another complimented
the magazine for its quick, easy pullout
data and number of entry points for the
reader. The publication also won for
its ability to cover relevant topics
and as one judge put it, “to
get the job done.”
ASBPE also congratulates
the other top-performing magazines that
were the finalists in the 2010 Magazine
of the Year competition.
