3/16/2015 On Monday, the Western Publishing Association named EXHIBITOR magazine a finalist for nine of the California-based organization's coveted Maggie Awards. "We've been participating in the Maggie Awards competition for more than a decade now, and use the competition as a barometer to measure our success, compared to other trade and consumer magazines in the publishing industry,” says Travis Stanton, editor of EXHIBITOR magazine. “To be honored in this way by our peers in the magazine world is a huge accomplishment and an indication that we are continuing to serve our readership while maintaining a high standard of excellence.”
The most prestigious magazine-publishing awards in the western United States, the Maggie Awards are often referred to as "the Oscars of the magazine industry." The competition encompasses both consumer and trade magazines in categories ranging from sports and automotive to home/design and alternative lifestyles.
"The Maggie competition is very competitive, with more than a thousand entries from publications serving all walks of life," says Stanton. “We’re particularly proud of the fact that EXHIBITOR is up for awards in both editorial and design categories, as well as print and digital categories. And with nine finalist nods, the represents a new record for the EXHIBITOR team.”
The 2015 Maggie winners will be announced at an awards banquet in Los Angeles on May 1, at which the Western Publishing Association will celebrate 64 years of honoring publishing excellence. "We certainly hope to bring home a Maggie Award or two," says Stanton. "But as they say at the Academy Awards, it's an honor just to be nominated."
