The American Society of Business Publication Editors’ (ASBPE’s) 43rd annual Azbee Awards of Excellence opens for entries on Nov. 2, 2020. 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 B2B print publications, digital magazines, websites, and digital media.

This year, we’ve updated several categories and introduced a few new ones, including Social Media Account of the Year, Online Feature Article Design, and Headline Writing (All-Content division). 2020 certainly has been unique and unforgettable, so we’ll be looking for entries that reflect the distinct ways in which the pandemic has impacted nearly every aspect of our lives.

Early-bird entries (between Nov. 2 and Dec. 10) receive a discounted entry fee, so start preparing your entries now! The deadline to enter the 2021 Azbee Awards is Jan. 11, 2021.
