Herald Magazine – An award winning publication! The Herald is a long-time member of Associated Church Press, the oldest religious press association in North America. This international community of communication professionals has recognized the Herald several times in recent years for editorial and design work, most recently awarding it an award of merit for design of the March 2005 Herald and an honorable mention for a new redesign introduced in the March 2005 Herald. In 2004 the ACP awarded the Herald honorable mention for design of the June issue covering the 2004 World Conference. And in 2002 the Herald received ACP's first-place award for excellence in redesign, honorable mention for Ted Kettlewell's first-person account of 9/11 rescue work, and honorable mention for design of the 2002 World Conference issue. Jim Hannah ACP Awards For the third time in the past four years, the Herald has been honored in the annual “Best of the Christian Press” awards competition sponsored by Associated Church Press, the oldest religious press association in North America. The announcement was made at the annual ACP convention held in Orlando, Florida, April 23–26. Two awards were given for the March 2005 Herald, both for outstanding design, with specific commendations for Herald art director Jack Martin and executive art director Clint Metcalf. An Easter resurrection theme prevailed throughout the issue, from artwork of the empty tomb by Matt Mills on the front cover, to inside illustrations by Jack Martin to accompany the scripture feature “Can These Bones Live?” and an Endnotes illustration on magazine redesign by Clint Met Metcalf. One award of merit was given in the category “magazine design, entire issue, 1- or 2- color.” The second award was an honorable mention in the category “publication redesign.” The yearly competition draws more than 1,000 entries from approximately 150 publications and news services in the United States and Canada with a combined circulation of several million, including the Christian Century, Sojourners, and Horizons. The ACP honor reflects the professionalism of an international association “brought together by faithfulness to their craft and by a common task of reflecting, describing, and supporting the life of faith and the Christian community.” The Herald received a first place and two honorable mentions in ACP’s 2002 competition, and an honorable mention in the 2004 competition. Sincerely, Apostle Linda L. Booth
