COLUMBIA, Mo., Jan. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The Society of American Business
Editors and Writers' (SABEW) 14th annual Best in Business contest is now
underway. This year's competition offers two major changes: a new division
for online business news as well as new categories for business magazines.
The registration deadline is February 1, 2008. The contest is for work
published in calendar 2007.
The Best in Business contest has three main components. The GENERAL
EXCELLENCE competition honors outstanding daily newspaper business
sections, weekly business newspapers, business web sites and business
magazines. The NEWS competition honors outstanding stories published by the
business news media. The ONLINE competition honors outstanding business
journalism on the web. There also is a student competition.
New this year are three categories for business magazines: outstanding
magazine cover stories are judged through a new category in the news
contest, while general excellence for business magazines is judged through
new categories in the general excellence contest and online contest.
Each contest is divided based on circulation or average monthly unique
visitors. Entry fees vary depending on contest and publication size.
Most entries are registered online by attaching PDFs or URLs, with
nothing to mail to SABEW. An exception is general excellence for business
sections, weekly business publications and business magazines, which all
require that packets of sections being entered be compiled according to the
rules and sent to SABEW. Also, online entries may require mailing of
entries and credit card payments to SABEW.
