The pillars of the magazine and digital publishing

"The Eddie & Ozzie Awards recognise the pillars of the magazine and digital publishing – outstanding journalism and content, photography, design, and the extremely talented people who produce it,” said Caysey Welton, content director at Folio:. "No other program celebrates a wider range of publications. Whether it’s a niche magazine with an audience of 5,000, or an online trade publication, or a mass consumer brand that reaches tens of millions of readers on multiple platforms, these awards shine a light on all their brilliant work."

“Year after year the entries continue to impress all of us here at Folio:,” said Welton. “It’s inspiring to see all the great work our community produced over the past year. And it’s given us a lot to consider as we gear up to announce this year’s 'Magazine of the Year' finalists next week."

The winners and honourable mentions of the coveted Folio: Eddie & Ozzie Awards will be celebrated at an awards gala on Tuesday, 9 October 2018, during The Folio: Show at the Hilton Midtown in New York City from 5:30 – 8:30pm. To register for the awards gala, click here.
