Enter Your Publication in the Aveda Environmental Awards

There are some fantastic magazine publishing heroes in North America, and the Aveda Environmental Award helps to recognize the publications and publishers with the best environmental printing practices in the magazine industry. The award, co-created by Aveda and the Green America Better Paper Project in 2005, has recognized some past finalists and winners such as, Fast Company, Shape, Mother Jones, Audubon, Natural Health, Utne, and Boho. Any consumer or B-to-B magazine that uses environmentally responsible paper/production practices is eligible to apply. The three categories this year are:

·         Best Paper & Printing Practices

·         Best Distribution & Efficiency Practices

·         Best Overall Environmental Commitment

 

The deadline to apply is August 31, 2010. Go here for more information, criteria and applications. By the way, I am honored to be one of the judges in the 2010 Aveda Environmental Awards.
