The Amputee Coalition of America’s bimonthly magazine inMotion has been awarded a 2005 APEX Award for Publication Excellence in the “Magazines & Journals – Printed Four Color” subcategory.

This makes the eighth APEX award inMotion has received over the past seven years for overall editorial excellence and writing in a variety of subcategories.

The entries this year were “very” competitive, according to Communications Concepts, Inc., the sponsor of the APEX awards. With 757 entries in the “Magazines & Journals” category, inMotion was competing against what Communications Concepts describes as “the most promising publications that professional communicators could enter.”

Judges included John De Lellis, Concepts editor and publisher, Christine Turner, contributing editor of Writing That Works: The Business Communications Report, Bill Londino, consulting editor of Writing That Works, and Carolyn Mulford, senior writer and editor of Writing That Works.

Founded in 1986, the Amputee Coalition of America (ACA) is a national 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee. The mission of the ACA is to reach out to people with limb loss to empower them through education, support and advocacy. With a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 1997, the ACA established the National Limb Loss Information Center (NLLIC), the nation's most comprehensive source of information for people living with limb differences.
