      Judge’s Comments: "By organizing their content beyond traditional departments and features with sections on Managing Growth, Life & Leisure, Executive Report and LeadingEdge this magazine offers extraordinary variety and breadth in its coverage. The business community is critically analyzed but in a way in which readers can enjoy the tale. Attention is paid to leads in features to draw readers into the story, and the magazine as a whole is easy to navigate."

    Association of Area Business Publications

    • Best Feature Layout, Gold Award
      Judge’s Comments: "The bold presentation of this layout does a good job of reflecting the bold content of the story. The typography is interesting without being overwhelming. The dramatic dark colors are carefully selected to maintain legibility of the text. The opening spread makes good use of a standard portrait. And the clean, consistent elements create a cohesive feel throughout the package."
