The Cleft Palate–Craniofacial Journal Wins EXCEL Gold Award for Journal Featured Article

On June 4, 2013, Allen Press, Inc., announced that the American Cleft Palate–Craniofacial Association has been awarded the Gold EXCEL Award for a Journal Featured Article. The EXCEL Awards are bestowed upon the "finest media products and publications" in the association industry.

The title of the winning article under the category of "Journals: Feature Article" was "Cleft Lip and Palate in the Arts: A Critical Reflection.” The article was authored by Drs. Masoud Saman, Justin Gross, Alexander Ovchinsky, and Donald Wood-Smith, and published in The Cleft Palate–Craniofacial Journal, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2013.

Characteristics of the article making it unique most importantly include the unique approach to the study of orofacial clefts, as the authors address how social attitudes towards those with cleft lip and/or palate have changed throughout time and also vary according to location. The piece concludes with the reassuring message on how it is possible to change perceptions and increase acceptance towards those with craniofacial anomalies.
