2020 Illeana cover, 20 years later In 1979 we launched our independent publishing company, and from our first issues we set high standards for admitting only select advertisers to our pages. This year, we chose the “Best of 2025″ after working closely with them to create features, ads, and other services for you, which permitted us to measure them against the high performance standards you require.

We found them to be … Trustworthy and knowledgeable … Open to discussion about creative ideas … Willing to work through difficulties and solve problems … to accommodate changes in plans, schedules, and other factors … Available for questions … and … Always professional in their approach.

Hall of Excellence

Best of Award 2025-Hall of Excellence Other organizations give a “Hall of Fame” award, which implies popularity. (We constantly get emails imploring us to vote for vendors so they can get one of those awards.)

But we wanted to do more — to look for and acknowledge “Excellence.”

Having worked with many of these vendors for years, we’ve watched certain ones whose pursuit of excellence was always outstanding, year in and year out. They are among the “Best of 2025” — but now, to acknowledge the many years of their all-around excellence that we’ve experienced, we’re proud to welcome them to this year’s “HALL OF EXCELLENCE.”

We’re inspired by their year-after-year commitment to the highest levels of service, integrity, and performance. They’ve earned their well-deserved stars ★ seen below.
