WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. – The nation’s most prestigious publishing firms gathered recently in New York City’s Hilton Midtown for the annual two-day Folio: Show. As per tradition, the Folio: Eddie & Ozzie Awards took place at an evening gala event in conjunction with the Show. The annual awards program spans all corners of the magazine publishing industry, recognizing the very best in editorial and design. It’s the most comprehensive and prestigious awards program of its kind for the publishing sector. A panel of more than 300 judges narrowed more than 2,000 entries down to a pool of roughly 1,100 finalists, from which 378 awards were given out across 54 categories.
Some of this year’s highlights included Harvard Business Review being named Magazine of the Year, Real Simple winning for Editorial Team of the Year, and the cannabis industry’s B2B journal mg Magazine winning for Best Design. This year’s Hall of Fame inductees included Maile Carpenter from Food Network Magazine and Stephen Orr from Better Homes & Gardens, among others.
“Where else can you see the best in magazine media content and design from every corner of the industry?” asked Caysey Welton, Content Director at Folio:. “Each year is more ground-breaking than the last, and we’re always delighted by the quality of content across such a range of publications and platforms.”
Darren Roberts, chief executive officer at Incunabulum Media, publisher of Best Design winner mg Magazine, noted, “This is indeed a well-deserved compliment on the team’s expertise and ability.” He added, “This is not only a tremendous achievement for mg, but for the entire cannabis industry as a whole.”
mg Magazine, the first and only national monthly B2B industry publication focused on the emerging cannabis retail market, was first published in 2015. The publication has been repeatedly recognized for its progressive design and award-winning journalists, and it has been credited for challenging the status quo in B2B publishing design.
