style='font-family:Arial'>Civil Engineering</span></font></i></em> 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, <em><i><font
face=Arial><span style='font-family:Arial'>Civil Engineering</span></font></i></em>
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."</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

unique. Sincere thanks, therefore, to each and every SAICE member who
