The colorful, bold cover commands attention.” In the Special Section category, Building Industry was honored for its “Saluting Hawaii’s Top 25 Contractors” section. The judges praised the Trade Publishing Co. magazine for its 25th anniversary section, noting, “Nice job with highlighting the Top 25.
