Up Here snags top prize at National Magazine Awards
The 33rd annual National Magazine Awards were held on Friday June 5 by the National Magazine Awards Foundation, marking the end of MagNet. This year’s awards show, which was MC'd by Maclean’s columnist and former chief speechwriter to the Rt. Honourable Paul Martin Scott Feschuk saw The Walrus take home the most prizes and Yellowknife-based Up Here magazine win the award for Best Magazine.
Winning nine awards, including Best Single Issue for October 2009 The Walrus grabbed the lion’s share of the awards, which were held at The Carlu in Toronto.
Taking home this year’s award for Best Magazine was Up Here. The judges described the magazine as “solid and accomplished, Up Here has real personality and shows a strong editorial hand. The degree of difficulty in finding the human and other resources to publish, print and distribute from the north only adds to the measure of the accomplishment here. It is distinctive, fresh and unpredictable with engaging and accessible content that crosses both the disciplinary and geographical boundaries. Its commitment and passion are very evident – and contagious.”
Also honoured during the ceremony was Magazines Canada chair and Quarto Communications general manager Terry Sellwood, who was awarded The Foundation
Award for Outstanding Achievement. Quarto Communications president Al Zikovitz said when nominating Sellwood for the award that “no conversation about magazine publishing and its future is complete without Terry’s name arising.” Sellwood has worked with, or for most of Canada’s major publishing companies and has held positions as chair for the Circulation Management Association of Canada, and the National Magazine Awards Foundation. Sellwood thanked the NMAF for the award and in true form thanked those he had worked with, saying “it takes many minds to make great magazines.”
The 33rd annual NMAs also saw the addition of several online award categories. Website of the Year went to Dogsincanada.com, and Canadian Geographic took home two online awards for Best Community Feature and Best Cross-Platform Package.
Here is a complete list of the winners of the 33rd annual National Magazine Awards. For more information on the awards or the National Magazine Awards Foundation, visit Magazine-awards.com. For the Masthead gallery from the night, follow this link.
