The APEX 2002 awards are the fourteenth annual awards for publication excellence competition. APEX is sponsored by the editors of Writing That Works, the newsletter for communicators who write, edit, and manage business publications. The APEX 2002 awards were based on excellence in graphic design, editorial content and the success of the entry, in the opinion of the judges, in achieving overall communications effectiveness and excellence. Entries in design categories were judged solely on the basis of their graphic design while writing entries were evaluated primarily on the basis of editorial quality.
