Entries open for Canadian Cover Awards

Entries are open for the Canadian Cover Awards, produced by the Circulation Management Association of Canada and Magazines Canada. Deadline for submissions is January 26.
There are eight award categories. Newsstand sales are worth 50 percent of an entry's final score; the remaining 50 percent is determined by five judges representing our industry: a retailer, a wholesaler, a national distributor, a circulation director and an art director. The entry fee is $90 for the first entry, $75 for the second and $55 for all additional entries. For the Small Magazine category, the cost is $35. Entries are made online. 

Nominations are also welcomed for Newsstand Marketer of the Year, for which there is no entry fee. It is meant to recognize an individual working for a Canadian publishing house, a national distributor or a wholesaler who has demonstrated passion and innovation—and produced results—for a newsstand project.
