The Amputee Coalition of America’s publications inMotion and Expectations – Parenting Children and Teens With Limb Differences have each won 2006 APEX Awards for Publication Excellence.

ACA’s bimonthly magazine inMotion won in the “Magazines & Journals – Print Four Color” subcategory, and the targeted publication Expectations won in the “One-of-a-Kind – Print Publications” subcategory.

This makes the ninth APEX award inMotion has received over the past eight years for overall editorial excellence and writing in a variety of subcategories.

The entries this year were “very” competitive, according to Communications Concepts, Inc., the sponsor of the APEX awards. With 796 entries in the “Magazines & Journals” category and 227 entries in the “Special Publications” category, inMotion was competing against what Communications Concepts describes as “the most promising publications that professional communicators could enter.”

Judges included John De Lellis, Concepts editor and publisher, Christine Turner, contributing editor of Writing That Works: The Business Communications Report, Bill Londino, consulting editor of Writing That Works, and Carolyn Mulford, senior writer and editor of Writing That Works and senior evaluator for the Publication Evaluation Program.
