[Saice] SAICE magazine wins PICA 2009

[Memory Scheepers]

FROM: The South African Institution of Civil Engineering (SAICE)

 

Dear SAICE members

 

We are delighted to let you know that our magazine, Civil Engineering,
won the prestigious PiCA Award for the third year running on Thursday
evening 26 November. The PiCA Awards are known as the "Oscars" of the
South African magazine industry, so we feel very happy, indeed, at
bringing this award home for the third time. The category in which we
won, was "Construction, engineering and related industries". 

 

 The following is what the judges had to say about our magazine:

 

"Civil Engineering is a supremely informative magazine with a clean,
sophisticated layout (the judges loved the generous use of white space).
As the official mouthpiece of the South African Institution of Civil
Engineering, it effectively communicates its objectives and showcases
innovative and challenging projects, methods and products. All the
while, it subtly promotes the principles of best practice and
professional growth. Actively encouraging member contributions and
feedback, Civil Engineering can proudly proclaim to be a true peer
publication. But it hasn't only increased reader participation which
boosted book sizes; advertising revenues were up by 23 percent in the
period under consideration."

 

Our heartiest congratulations go to SAICE's magazine team. However, none
of this could have happened without input from YOU, our members. Most of
the articles in our magazine come from SAICE members who give freely of
their time to submit quality material. This is what makes our magazine
so unique. Sincere thanks, therefore, to each and every SAICE member who
has participated in our magazine, in whatever way. You have won us our
PiCA!!

 

With kind SAICE regards
