Finalists announced for educational publishing's most renowned awards program

Winners to be announced at AEP's annual Awards Banquet & Gala in June

LOGAN TWP., NJ--APRIL 18, 2007--The Association of Educational Publishers (AEP), the national non-profit association for developers of educational content, is pleased to announce the finalists for the 2007 AEP Awards Program. The program's Distinguished Achievement and Golden Lamp Awards recognize the year's most outstanding materials in the field of teaching and learning, and the Beacon Awards honor the most creative and effective products and campaigns in the field of education marketing. AEP Award winners earn the right to display the Lamp of Learning seal, nationally recognized by educators and administrators as a mark of outstanding quality and achievement.

"I am impressed every year by the passion and creative energy with which our industry approaches its work, but on this, the fortieth anniversary of our awards program, this innovative spirit is more evident and alive than ever," said Charlene Gaynor, the association's CEO.

The AEP Awards program consists of three distinct segments. The first is the Beacon Awards for excellence in education marketing. The Beacons recognize the top products in nine distinct marketing categories. From among the category winners, one particularly exceptional product is rewarded with the Gold Beacon, the highest achievement in education marketing. Beacon winners will be announced at the Beacon Luncheon, to be held June 12 at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, D.C. To view a complete list of the Beacon finalists, please visit www.AEPweb.org/awards/beaconwin.htm

The Distinguished Achievement Awards (DAAs), honor the top products within the categories of Curriculum, Periodicals, and Professional Development. The DAAs are evaluated on traits such as efficacy, usability, and overall educational value and judged by an expert panel of educators, editors, designers, and technology specialists. Winners of these awards will be announced at the annual Awards Banquet & Gala, held June 12 at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, D.C. For a complete list of DAA finalists, please visit www.AEPweb.org/awards/winners.htm.

The coveted Golden Lamp Awards are considered the most prestigious of the AEP Awards, honoring the "best of the best" in educational publishing. Golden Lamp finalists are defined by their superior use of content, design, and fulfillment of a product's educational mission. The four Golden Lamp winners will also be announced June 12 at the Awards Banquet & Gala. To view the list of Golden Lamp finalists, please go to www.AEPweb.org/awards/lampwin.htm.
