The Magazine Cover of the Year Awards shortlist was announced yesterday, with the general public now voting on their favourite covers over the next five weeks.
A panel of industry experts selected a shortlist of five covers per category from the nominated entries.
The judging panel consisted of Ita Buttrose, media personality Deborah Hutton, Life Styled editor Paula Joye, Fusion Strategy managing director Steve Allen, The Australian deputy editor Stephen Brook, iSUBSCRIBE founder and CEO Andrew Burge, media consultant Andrew Cowell, newsXpress CEO Mark Fletcher, Mornings executive producer Louisa Hatfield and FIPP president and CEO Chris Llewellyn.
It’s great to see quite a few new entrants competing for awards in The Maggies,” says Buttrose, who is chair of the judging panel. The standard of entries is excellent and it’s terrific to see so much diversity in what’s on offer. I can see a notable improvement in some of the magazine cover designs since last year’s Maggies and that’s really exciting.”
The winners of the Magazine Cover of the Year and individual Best Magazine Cover categories will be announced in the first week of December.
