APEX awards are based on excellence in graphic design, editorial content and the success of the entries in achieving overall communications effectiveness and excellence. For 21 years, APEX (Awards for Publication Excellence) has judged and presented these awards to professional communicators. From almost 4,000 total entries this year, about 31 percent were recognized with Awards of Excellence. A look at the list of winners shows that SkillsUSA’s communications are in the same league as those of many national associations, major corporations and communications firms. (Other winners include the Pepsi Bottling Group, Ford Motor Co., Lockheed Martin, Costco, AARP, Educational Testing Service, Walt Disney Co. and Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc.)
