The Green Sheet scores three more APEX awards

The 22nd Annual Awards for Publication Excellence (APEX) honored The Green Sheet Inc. with three awards for content published in 2009. The Rohnert Park, Calif.-based media company won two Awards of Excellence: one for issue 09:04:02 of The Green Sheet, which focused on social networking websites, and one for the entire website content of its newest venture, SellingPrepaid, which reports on the prepaid card industry.

The Green Sheet also received APEX's highest honor, a Grand Award for its article entitled "The Road Ahead for Mobile Payments," The Green Sheet, June 22, 2009, issue 09:06:02.

Complex but clear

APEX, an enterprise of Communications Concepts Inc., said 3,711 entries were evaluated, with 1,132 Awards of Excellence given out in 127 individual categories and 100 Grand Awards granted in 11 major categories.

The APEX judges noted the highly competitive nature of the 2010 entries. "Each year, the quality of entries increases," the judges said. "Overall, this year's entries displayed an extraordinary level of quality. The APEX judges saw only the most promising publications that professional communicators could enter. From them, they had the truly difficult task of selecting the award-winning entries."

Of the "The Road Ahead for Mobile Payments," the judges said, "A tightly-written and very clear analysis of complex financial and technical topics. Readers come away with an excellent understanding of the subject matter."

Three's a charm

Kate Gillespie, Chief Operating Officer and General Manager of The Green Sheet, said, "I am so proud of everyone at The Green Sheet. This would not be possible if we did not have such an outstanding team. We constantly strive to achieve excellence."

Gillespie said having SellingPrepaid recognized by the judges was especially rewarding because of the hard work put in by the entire Green Sheet staff in making the new website and SellingPrepaid E-Magazine relevant and entertaining. The website went live in March 2008.

Since first entering the competition in 2002, The Green Sheet has scored 41 APEX awards.
