‘Irrigation Today’ places first in ACN awards

Irrigation Today received two first-place awards for editorial design in the 2022 Agricultural Communicators Network Communication Awards Program July 19.

Irrigation Today’s designer, Sean Burris, achieved top prize awards in ACN’s single-paged editorial design commercial category for “What’s on the Horizon,” which ran in the magazine’s Spring 2021 edition, and the two-page plus design commercial category for “Connecting Technology,” which ran in its Winter 2022 edition.

The ACN Communications Awards aim to recognize ACN members’ work in design, photography, writing, marketing and communications, and digital and social media contests. Submitted entries for the 2022 contest must have been published between April 16, 2021, and April 15, 2022.

Design entries were judged on creativity, concept and clarity of design, with the main emphasis on effectiveness in communicating editorial messages and not “art for art’s sake.”
