The Paint Horse Journal earned the Award of Excellence in the Magazines, Journals & Tabloids–Print +32 pages category. “Pushing Buttons,” written by Jessica Hein for Chrome, received the Award of Excellence in the Writing–Interviews & Personal Profiles category.
The APEX Awards recognize excellence in graphic design, editorial content and overall excellence in communication. The awards are sponsored by the editors of Writer’s Web Watch, a branch of Communications Concepts, Inc., located in Springfield, Virginia.
“Each year we enter publications in the APEX Awards for Publication Excellence we know we will be going up against some of the best publications in the world,” Director of Publications Jessica Hein said. “Having the honor of receiving not one, but two awards for our publications reiterates how proud we are of producing enjoyable content for Paint Horse lovers across the globe.”
