The 2011 Tabbies Call for Entries is now available for download in PDF format here, allowing all b2b editors, publishers and art directors the opportunity to have their best work judged by their peers. The Tabbies, the editorial and design awards program run by Trade, Association and Business Publications International (TABPI), is again partnering with the U.S.'s American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE), New Zealand's Magazine Publishers Association (MPA), South Africa’s SAFREA, Australia's Society of Editors NSW and the Magazine Publishers Association of South Africa (MPASA).
The Tabbies international b2b magazine competition encompasses 20 categories, and is open to English-language business-to-business publications around the world that are published at least quarterly, as well as b2b online-only publications. Unlike some more restrictive programs, publications are not required to maintain membership in any particular organizations in order to be considered for the Tabbies.
Categories in the Tabbies' editorial division include: Best Single Issue, Department, Editor's Column, Feature Article, Focus/Profile Article, How-To Article, News Coverage, Regular Column, Single News Article, Special Section, and Technical Article. Categories in the design division include: Feature Design, Front Cover, Digital Imagery; Front Cover, Illustration; Front Cover, Photograph; Front Cover, Special Issue; Opening Page or Spread; and Table of Contents. The online division recognizes the most interactive, informative b2b websites as well as online-only features.
The 2011 Tabbies are also supported by companies that have an interest in working with b2b editors and publishers -- as well as supporting editorial and design excellence. Your support of them is most appreciated. The Gold Sponsors for the 2011 Tabbies are Proximity Marketing and Modern Postcard. The Silver Sponsor for the 2011 Tabbies is Business Strategies Group Asia.
Judges for the competition are culled from suggestions of regional editorial groups across the globe. The deadline for entries to be postmarked is March 17th, 2011. Please note that a late fee applies after that date. Winners will be announced on or about July 15th, 2011.
