ACE 2023 Awards
We are delighted to announce the winners of the 2023 Awards
It is with heavy hearts that once again we have had to cancel the annual meeting due to the rail strikes. We have missed out on listening to an inspiring Speaker, Josie Gamble, and hearing layout and design tips from Helen Boosey as well as networking and swapping magazines. It is a great shame for the Awards winners too, that they have not been photographed being presented with their certificates and trophies.
We have decided not to award the Headlines or Graphics category awards as there were no outstanding entries other than the main winners. However, we are pleased to announce and congratulate this year’s winners below.
