The 2025 Awards of Excellence and Higher Goals contests are now open for entries. The submission deadline is Friday, January 24, 2025. All entries must come from material published in the calendar year 2024. Certain digital categories that pertain to website design or the overall website platform will, by necessity, be judged in real time some time between February 1 and March 7.
One new category
We have added one new category for 2025—Video Podcast—to accommodate those who have embraced video as part of their podcasting platform. Entries are limited to those with a digital membership.
For associate members
The board has agreed to continue to allow Associate members to compete in all Higher Goals categories (except for a very few publication-centric categories such as Publication Design, Photography Use, etc.).
Entries must have been published on your personal website or blog or in an EPA member publication. Material published in a non-EPA member publication or digital platform is permitted as long as the piece has a faith-based context.
