NEW YORK (July 10, 2008) - Penton Media today announced that two of its publications, National Real Estate Investor and Supermarket News, have been selected as 2008 Tabbie Award winners. In addition, three Penton publications, Digital Content Producer, millimeter and Occupational Hazards®, received honorable mentions in the competition. Presented by Trade, Association and Business Publications International (TABPI), this fifth-year editorial and design competition was organized for English language publications around the world, published at least quarterly.
SN's Whole Health, Supermarket News was a gold winner in the "Front Cover, Special Issue" category for "California Rules." The judges' comments included ""Great use of illustration and type to convey the cover story! Bold and colorful! Screams California! Terrific use of stylized type makes this entry a stand-out. The images rendered into each letter help convey the article's content and add more vibrant color to the layout."
National Real Estate Investor was a silver winner in the "Best Single Issue" category for "Wild Ride for Office REITs." The judges said, "The magazine provides a comprehensive package of business information for a wide range of real estate investors, delivered in a clean, professional design. It has more in common with weekly business magazines than monthly vertical market publications and leaves a reader feeling informed and smart."
Other Penton properties receiving honorable mention awards were Digital Content Producer for "Feature Article" and for "Opening Page or Spread"; millimeter for ‘Best Single Issue" for its September/October 2007 issue; and Occupational Hazards for "Front Cover, Photograph" for its February 2007 Issue.
