A total of 42 winners will be announced, culminating in the Grand Neal Award, which honors the most outstanding entry from among the winners in all categories.
A panel of 14 judges will review the finalists to select winners in the 17 editorial categories. Winners will be announced during a special awards ceremony on March 31 at Pier Sixty in New York City.
The Neal Awards were created by the American Business Media association (now named Connectiv) in 1955 to recognize and reward editorial excellence in business-to-business publications that cover such fields as agriculture, medicine, finance, engineering, and transportation.
