In addition to Catalog of the Year, the BLACK BOX Catalog won a Gold award earlier in the same ceremony for the highest excellence in the Computer and Software category. The awards, conferred as "tributes to catalog excellence," mark the second consecutive year that Black Box has earned the top honors as Catalog of the Year. This year is also the tenth year in a row that Black Box has been recognized as the best in the Computer Equipment and Software category. The catalog was one of 85 finalists selected from a field of more than 200 entries in 28 categories. The awards are based on a point system given by a panel of judges.
