BCP 2008 with special prize For the first time, a special prize for an international communication concept will be awarded at the BCP 2008. The jury recognizes corporate publishing products that contribute to uniform branding in several languages and for different countries, while also taking regional influences into account.
The "Electronic Publishing" category has been expanded this year: in view of the rapidly increasing number of e-journals, online newsletters and corporate podcasts in customer and employee communications, awards are presented for magazines, newsletters and special formats such as audio, video or mobile.
As a partner of the BCP 2008, the Federal Association of German Press Spokespersons (BdP) presents the awards for employee magazines and newspapers as well as the BCP Award for annual reports. The Federal Association of German Press Spokespersons is the professional association for press spokespersons and communications officers from companies, associations, organizations and politics with currently around 2,800 members. In cooperation with the Verlag Deutscher Drucker publishing house and the trade journal Versio, a special prize will be awarded at the BCP 2008 in the "Print Innovation" category. The prize is awarded for outstanding examples of print finishing and processing.
Together with the main sponsor Steinbeis Temming Papier, the jury awards a prize in the "recycled paper" category. The prize is awarded to a publication printed on recycled paper for the highest quality and greatest possible sustainability.
