Eligible articles are those written by a full-time employee, from any department, of an APPA member institution. In addition, articles written by APPA Members Emeritus who are not affiliated with a business partner firm may be eligible for award consideration. If an article has more than one listed author, all authors must be full-time employees of an APPA member institution or a Member Emeritus to be eligible for the award. Eligible institutions must be Institutional or Affiliate members at the time of publication.

Selection Guidelines
The Information and Research Committee administers the Rex Dillow Award and assesses each of the eligible articles based on the following five categories:

1. Content the degree to which the article adds to the body of knowledge of the facilities profession through new information, a new perspective on existing information or techniques, or case studies.
2. Interest the degree to which the article addresses current topics or stimulates interest through its methods of expression.
3. Readability the degree to which the article conforms to the style and format of the magazine, uses easily understood words and phrases, and provides a logical structure.
4. Applicability the appeal and value of the article's content to a broad range of educational facilities and other institutions.
5. Ease of editing reflects the time and effort required by the magazine editor to prepare the submitted article for publication.

Each category is given equal weight in its contribution to the article's overall rating.
