You can help pick the best of the best -- 30 years of National Magazine Award covers
As part of its celebration of 30 years, the National Magazine Awards Foundation is having a "reader's choice" vote about the best covers. Go to the voting site and you can vote 3 times for each of 27 covers* that have been finalists. (above, the 1981 gold winner from Quest.) It will be harder than you think...The winners will be announced at the MagAwards gala at the Carlu in Toronto on June 15.
(By the way, there are two missing, simply because the staff of the awards weren't able to find shots of the winners or they wouldn't reproduce. And, of course, number 30 hasn't been picked yet.)

Does anyone else find these covers shockingly non-compelling?
Some may make good posters, but do any of them do a good job of enticing the reader into picking up the magazine?
I know the NMAs ignore concepts such as newsstand performance, but these past winners are SO boring and self-consciously artistic.
