The Evangelical Press Association (EPA) announced the winners of its annual journalism contest at a May 2-4 conference in Colorado Springs. More than 300 publications, 10 from Christianity Today International, are members of the EPA. The EPA designates two kinds of awards: “Awards of Excellence” for a magazine as a whole, and “Higher Goals” awards for issues, articles, columns, design, and other categories.
