‘Time’ Wins National Magazine Award for General Excellence; No Big Sweeps this Year

Unlike previous years, when top magazines such as the New Yorker swept the American Society of Magazine Editors’ National Magazine Awards, no publication won more than two prizes this year, AdAge writes. Two awards were awarded to Time magazine (one for general excellence with circulations over 2 million)), Rolling Stone, The Virginia Quarterly Review, Esquire, Harper’s Magazine, New York and The New Yorker.

ESPN The Magazine beat The New Yorker, Vogue, Martha Stewart Living and Fortune for general excellence among titles with circulations between 1 and 2 million. Other general excellence awards went to: Harper’s, for circulations between 100,000 and 250,000; Esquire, in the 500,000 to 1 million range; and The Virginia Quarterly Review (under 100,000 circulation). The Virginia Quarterly Review also won for fiction.

The awards were presented during an evening ceremony last night before about 1,000 attendees in black tie, a first for the event, as previous ceremonies took place during luncheons.
