Of the close to 4,500 entries, only 120 received Grand Awards, the highest recognition APEX judges can present.

Following is a short description of the competition from the APEX Web site: APEX 2008 awards were based on excellence in graphic design, editorial content and the success of the entry — in the opinion of the judges — in achieving overall communications effectiveness and excellence.
