The APEX Awards for Publication Excellence is an annual competition for publishers, editors, writers, and designers who create print, web, electronic, and social media. Business, nonprofit, agency, and freelance communicators can submit to APEX to win awards for their best writing, publications, campaigns, programs, design, and media. The event is sponsored by Communications Concepts, Inc. which advises professionals who write, edit, and manage business communications on best strategies and practices.
The Content Marketing Awards are presented and owned by the Content Marketing Institute, a UBM company, to recognize and award the best content marketing projects, agencies and marketers in the industry each year. The 2018 Content Marketing Awards include 92 categories recognizing all aspects of content marketing, from strategy to distribution, from design to editorial. The Content Marketing Awards is the largest international content marketing awards program.
