The AHP Annual Awards Contest provides members with an opportunity to be recognized for excellence in equine publishing, as well as professional critiques for improvement.
Competing against 817 entries from well-known equine magazines such as the Quarter Horse Journal, Western Horseman, Chronicle of the Horse and others, the staff again proved to be at the top of the industry as they earned two first places, one second place and three honorable mentions in “Circulation under 20,000” divisions. The awards ranged in category from instructional series to horse care to personality profiles to advertising and editorial design.
The panel of 24 judges included editors and columnists from newspapers and agricultural magazines, graphic designers and ad agency creative directors, as well as Web consultants and university professors.
