The awards featured more than 400 entries, with nominations coming from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Singapore, and South Africa.
Forbes Woman Africa has won a Silver Award in the Best Feature category (for its story on refugees in South Africa) and was placed seventh in the Top 25 Best Single Issue category for the overall content of its August/September 2016 edition that featured Africa’s Blue Economy on the cover.
"To receive editorial and design recognition in two categories, for Best Feature and Best Single Issue, is humbling indeed. Being recognised for overall content by some of the best editors in the world tells me that we are doing something right, and there is respect for the high editorial standards we uphold," says Methil Renuka, editor of Forbes Woman Africa.
Presented by Trade, Association and Business Publications International (TABPI), this 14th-year editorial and design competition was open to English-language B2B publications worldwide published at least three times per year.
TABPI president, Paul J Heney, adds, "We saw a great deal of change this year in terms of who was entering what. We saw more publications entering in certain categories, such as Best Single Issue. The judging was particularly tough there, and there were areas where multiple publications were very close in scoring. As a result, there are some fresh faces in our listings this year, which was very inspiring to see.”
