Martha’s Vineyard Magazine Finalist in National Awards Competition
Martha’s Vineyard Magazine announces it is a finalist for the 2009 National City and Regional Magazine Awards in three categories: General Excellence, Ancillary Publications for its Home & Garden magazine, and Leisure/Lifestyle Interests for its series on wild edibles.
“We were finalists for general excellence and for our Home & Garden magazine last year too. Our series on wild edibles was a huge undertaking that we started talking about in 2007, so it’s fantastic to receive recognition for it,” said Nicki Miller, editor of Martha’s Vineyard Magazine. “Kudos go to all our writers and photographers contributing to eight issues every year, and for those in the office doing a great job putting it all together to get it to our readers.”
Magazine professionals from around the country chose 142 finalists representing 38 publications in the 25-year-old awards competition. Magazines of varying circulations competed in 29 categories. Judges named five finalists in most categories and winners will be announced at the CRMA annual conference June 7 in Providence, RI.
Topping the list of CRMA award finalists with 10 or more nominations were Texas Monthly, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia magazines. Magazines with at least five nominations include 5280 (Denver), Atlanta, Berkshire Living, Boston, Cincinnati, and Seattle Metropolitan. Indianapolis Monthly, Martha’s Vineyard, Portland Monthly and Washingtonian each received three.
CRMA is a nationwide association of city and regional magazines that are general interest consumer publications with paid, audited circulation. For more information on the awards, visit www.citymag.org.
Martha’s Vineyard Magazine publishes eight magazines annually: five Martha’s Vineyard (May-June, July, August, September-October and Not Summer), two Home & Garden (Spring-Summer and Fall-Winter) and Island Weddings & Celebrations. The magazine illustrates in word and image, and with substance, insight, and sometimes humor, the faces, places, and issues that make up the Island – from the sea and waterfront to the wilderness and farmland, from homes and gardens to studios and businesses, from the past we’ve lived to the future we’re facing.
