I chose this entry as the Award
artistically-done, well-planned video that hits the mark in every way. The interviews were very nice and I thought the choice of edits to be conducive to telling the “story.” Videography was lush and music set the mood. Love that there was so much footage of worship and worship space. Great job. www.youtube.com/ watch?v=R-E7uE61efc

This idea was outstanding and the content informative and
although the subjects should always be seen if we can hear
the video was a nice quality. The “Pop Up” idea appeals to a wide variety of viewers and I think this video was probably very well received (at least it SHOULD have been!) This kind
little technical blips that you
content is what the Church needs more of. Bravo! www.youtube.com/ watch?v=1UU6KOu_Eu4&list =PL46C385DC17E97452&index=27

Solange De Santis, Co-Lead Jerry Hames, Former Editor “Hospital battered in Sandy’s wake” Episcopal Journal
This account of St. John’s Episcopal Hospital, which was battered while it served as a refuge for desperate people during Superstorm Sandy, is compelling and informative. The writer is following up a month or so after the storm with a story that not only recounts heroics but explains the financial burden this response placed on the small

Emily Cherry, Writer and Editor “The Fear-Not Business: Virginia churches battle–and beat–obstacles to live out mission” Virginia Episcopalian, Diocese of Virginia
Cherry demonstrates excellence in the balance she strikes among summary, description, and direct quotation. She knows when to put others’ ideas into her words and when to let her sources speak for
colleagues in this crowded category performed a brand of “notebook dump,” Cherry
verbs and objects after subjects and arranged them neatly to create a well-swept pathway of

Solange De Santis, Editor Gordon Graham, Columnist “The church, vocal on gun control, but silent on drones” Episcopal Journal
David Dreisbach, Author “How do you sell a prune?” Interchange, Diocese of Southern Ohio
Who could have imagined how much the Episcopal Church can learn from the lowly prune? That’s the surprising lesson David Dreisbach offers us in his sprightly, insightful essay on how the marketing gurus turned prunes into dried plums. Within those threads of humor are the elements of an important point: The way in which we tell our story as a community of faith can make an enormous difference in whether we connect to the broader community. It’s an important, inspiring bottom line from a beautifully written essay.

The entry receiving the Award
clear, clean, fresh writing that avoided clichés and easy-choice words and phrases. The writing reflected clear and challenging thinking about difficult matters. Readers were given new insights into the pericopes and, more, sent away with a creative sense of discomfort.

This photo is all about the beautiful light. The composition, the subtle moment that creeps in there. It’s the kind of image you want to swim around in. The kind of space you see in dreams. The composition is really great with the light leading your eye into the cross and you move back down to the person at the

Both the mark and the type treatment are very well done. The mark encompasses all of the stated themes and
colors, use of white space and the symbolic cross all work exceptionally well together, as does the balance of the wave on the left and the top of the shield

This poster is fun to look at and I love the color palette and the font choices. You’ve done an exceptional job taking a lot of information and making it easy to consume in a single poster. My eyes move around the page easily and are not disappointed with each stop as I scan the
separate elements a smart place in their visual hierarchy as well as a comfortable place to live on the page. This is the most current and professional looking design I have seen in this category, so this is a sure winner.

The photograph on this magazine cover, of a glass sculpture made by a local artist, was a great choice for illustrating the issue’s theme of “Wonder.” The colors and crop
with the cover’s clean typography, was head and shoulders above the rest of the entries in this category.

What I especially liked about this campaign was the way that it used stories and facts to intrigue and drive action. Rather than being highly prescriptive, it created an emotional connection that inspired viewers to learn more and do more. The overall look and feel was clean and consistent.

It makes it so much easier to look at a design that has breathing
