EDN has won three national awards in the 28th Annual Awards ofExcellence competition of the American Society of Business PublicationEditors (ASBPE). EDN has won awards for Best Regular Department of theYear for its Prying Eyes department; Best Redesign of the Year, basedon its June 9, 2005, issue; and Best Computer-Generated Cover Art ofthe Year for its Aug. 18, 2005, cover.

ASBPE's annual competition recognizes the hard work and commitmentof business and trade-magazine professionals, newsletter and Webeditors, and designers. With twice the number of entries as any othernational business-publication award contest for editorial and designexcellence, the "Azbee" awards represent an extremely competitive andprestigious program. EDN is one of three winners in each category; theASBPE will specify gold, silver, and bronze winners at an awards ceremony in July.

"The ASBPE award for our redesign recognizes the hard work thatthe entire EDN team put into the research, planning, and execution inthe 2005 overhaul of the book," said Maury Wright, EDN's editor inchief. "Clearly the judges recognized not only the compelling readerservice of new departments such as Tales from the Cube and PryingEyes, but also the eye-catching visual implementation developed bySenior Art Director Mike O'Leary with the help of Managing EditorKasey Clark. I'd also like to thank John Dodge -- editor in chief atthe time of the redesign -- for his efforts."

On the editorial front, EDN takes pride in winning a nationalaward for best regular department with Prying Eyes, one of the newdepartments created in the redesign process.

"Product teardowns are not a new concept, but our editorial teambelieved it could offer readers insight into the design process thatwent deeper than a look at the cost of the underlying components,"Wright said. "The ASBPE judges clearly recognized the additional valuewe offer in Prying Eyes when they chose EDN as the national winner inbest regular department. I'm gratified that a lot of my own work wasrecognized and thankful for the constant help of Matthew Miller(executive editor, online), Kasey Clark, Fran Granville (seniorassociate editor), and Mike O'Leary."

The ASBPE awards come on the heels of EDN's recognition as afinalist for Best Web site in the Jessie H Neal awards program.Redesigned in 2005 in conjunction with the print redesign, EDN.com hasbecome a "must-visit" site for the practicing engineer. Thedevelopment effort, led by Miller, resulted in a site that has provenboth compelling and easy to use.

"The recognition of EDN in all three categories is consistent withthe close ties we at EDN hold with our audience," added EDN PublisherJohn Schirmer. "It's great to be recognized by our peers for the bestredesign, the best computer-generated cover, and the best regulardepartment. The win of the ASBPE national awards is a credit to theentire team at EDN."
