Enter the Azbees! Winners represent the finest print, online, and design content in business-to-business publications
The American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) is now accepting entries for our 42nd annual Azbee Awards of Excellence. The Azbee Awards are highly competitive and celebrate the highest quality reporting, editing and design in business-to-business, trade, association and professional publications. The awards honor print publications, e-newsletters, B2B websites, and digital media. Take a look at the 2019 winner’s gallery for inspiration.
Speaking of winners, the editorial director for one of last year’s winners for Magazine of the Year explains what winning an Azbee means for her and her team: “A small but dedicated team has worked very hard to make Professional Builder the leading publication in its field. Being named Magazine of the Year by ASBPE represents the culmination of those efforts,” says Denise Dersin, the publication’s editorial director. “While winning awards is not our primary goal, excellence certainly is, and it is immensely gratifying to be recognized by our peers in publishing.”
As editors and writers ourselves, we know how hard you work to produce the leading publications in your industries. Get the recognition you deserve.
