Incisal Edge magazine earns recognition in Folio: Eddie and Ozzie Awards

Incisal Edge has earned finalist status – six submissions in four categories — for this year’s Folio: Eddie & Ozzie Awards celebrating uncompromising journalism and gorgeous design.

In August, the Folio: team announced finalists. The team, along with a prestigious panel of 200+ judges, narrowed the more than 2,000 Folio: Eddie & Ozzie Award entries received this year to a list of roughly 1,000 finalists. The annual awards program, recognizing the very best in editorial and design, is the most comprehensive of its kind in the industry.

We are so proud of the Incisal Edge team for earning finalist status. Six submissions in four categories: journalism, graphic design, photography and web design have been recognized in this year’s Folio: Eddie & Ozzie Awards,” said Incisal Edge Editor Rachel A. Pugh, also the Branding and Communications Manager for the magazine’s publisher, Benco Dental.

Benco Dental publishes Incisal Edge, which celebrates dentists’ achievements both inside the operatory and during their hard-earned downtime.

Known for its 40 Under 40 America’s Best Young Dentists, the nation’s only dental lifestyle magazine, in 2014, reached more than 40,000 Benco customers and their staffs.

EDDIES, awards for uncompromising journalism:

  • (below, left) Full Issue: Incisal Edge, Winter Edition, 2018, “Survivors,” by Incisal Edge editorial team. Known for its “40 Under 40” feature that highlights the country’s brightest rising stars in dentistry, the magazine dedicates its cover to a topic neither glamorous nor bright: the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. Aside from complementary coverage such as disaster preparedness and recovery assistance, the issue spotlights 22 pages of inspiration for renovations and rebuilds: the magazine’s 2017 Design Competition honorees.Screenshot 2018-09-17 14.46.34.png

OZZIES, awards for gorgeous design.

  • (shown below, left) Feature Design: Incisal Edge, Fall, 2017, “Picture Perfect – 40 Under 40,” by Artistic Director LoriahWebbyColor leads the countdown of America’s best young dentists. With a challenge of featuring 40 people in an organized, readable and attractive manner, Loriah Webby incorporated a geometric element on the opener that transformed into a tool on the following pages to help direct the reader. Bright group shots add visual engagement and balance the glow that seems to surround each nominee and his or her effusive smile.
