ASHPE Announces Annual Awards Competition Has Come to an End

TWINSBURG, OHIO, August 14, 2019 — The American Society of Healthcare Publication Editors (ASHPE) has announced the cessation of its annual ASHPE Awards Competition after 18 years.

ASHPE was founded in 2000 to recognize and enhance editorial excellence and performance in the healthcare publishing industry. ASHPE was founded by Richard H. “Dick” Green, a veteran of numerous publications and editorial associations, with guidance and eventual leadership from managing director Nancy Blanchard.

The first ASHPE Awards Competition was held in 2001 and grew steadily through the years, always evolving to meet the needs of its members. Many participants attest that the most significant benefit of winning an ASHPE award was the prestige, esteem and bragging rights they received from promoting their ASHPE Award Winner logo in their publication and related marketing tools.

ASHPE wishes to thank all of the many editors, publishers, art directors and creative staff members who participated in the awards competition over the years, as well as the judges whose industry knowledge and expertise made the award program one of honor of distinction. We wish you all the best for your continued success in the pursuit of editorial excellence.
