New "CP Excellence" category at BCP 2011

The competition phase for the BCP Best of Corporate Publishing 2011 is underway. For the first time, the BCP 2011 jury will honor a single feature story in the newly created «CP Excellence» category.  

The conditions are that the reportage must be related to a company or brand and have appeared in a CP medium between March 2010 and February 2011. The aim of the new category is to further emphasize the journalistic competence of CP media, says Michael Höflich, Managing Director of Forum Corporate Publishing. Reportage is regarded as the supreme discipline in journalism and is therefore ideally suited for the new BCP "CP Excellence" award.

Companies and corporate publishing service providers have until February 26, 2011 to submit their publications to Europe's largest competition for corporate communications. The jury for the CP Excellence Award will include well-known editors-in-chief; Roland Tichy from Wirtschaftswoche and Dr. Arno Balzer from Manager Magazin have already confirmed their participation. Ulrich Brenner, head of the German School of Journalism, will also be judging the reports.
 
The BCP trophies will be awarded in a total of 28 categories and four special prizes: Steinbeis Papier honors publications with a high sustainability factor with the "Green Publishing" award, the "Cover of the Year" is awarded by Corbis and Lingua Kraft Language Services in cooperation with Transatlantic Translations honors international communication concepts. There will also be the "Print & Innovation" award for outstanding print finishing and print processing, sponsored by the Laserline printing company from Berlin.

The application phase lasts until February 26, 2011 and company reports can be submitted for the BCP 2011 until April 7. The awards for corporate communication will be presented on July 6, 2011 in Hamburg - following the international BCP congress "Corporate Attitude - Companies Show Attitude".

The competition is organized by Forum Corporate Publishing (FCP) together with the media partners Acquisa, Horizont, W&V and Schweizer Werbewoche.
