Our Westminster web site has won the Grand Award in the APEX 2004 Awards for Publication Excellence. APEX 2004, the sixteenth annual awards program, is an international competition that recognizes outstanding publications from newsletters, magazines and newspapers to web sites. According to the APEX 2004 judges, “The awards were based on excellence in graphic design, quality of editorial content and the success of the entry in conveying the message and achieving overall communications effectiveness.”

One hundred Grand Awards were given in eleven main categories including newsletters, magazines, journals, newspapers, video and electronic publications and web sites. The judges evaluated 5,462 total entries, with 528 entries in the web site category. Westminster’s recently redesigned web site was recognized for its overall excellence, as summed up in this judge’s comment: “An elegant, efficient layout, clear, easy navigation and interesting, appealing and well-written content all unite to create a significantly improved, top-drawer church congregation’s web site.”
