IES magazine LD+A has been honored with two awards from the Association TRENDS’ 2010 All-Media Contest, which recognizes outstanding communications materials from associations. The magazine received a Gold Award in the “Monthly Professional Society Magazine” category for the October 2010 issue and a Bronze Award for its 2011 Media Kit. LD+A was one of more than 470 entries in this year’s association publications contest, and the magazine has been a recipient of Association TRENDS Awards in prior years: one in 2008, one in 2007 and three in 2006. However, 2010 marks its first Gold Award.
The editor/associate publisher of LD+A is Paul Tarricone, whom I’ve known for many years. As a former editor myself (of Architectural Lighting), I have to say Paul has done a fantastic job with LD+A, making it one of the industry’s leading voices. As an IES member, I personally look forward to receiving it each month. From the letters to Bill Warren’s take on energy management to Jim Brodrick on LEDs to articles about new research to cutting-edge projects, LD+A always contains useful and interesting news and education about lighting.
