Magazine of the Year: GQ
46 05.13.11
SPD is proud to announce this year's Gold Award winner for MAGAZINE OF THE YEAR is GQ. Once again, we have had a truly inspiring collection of contenders for SPD's highest award: Magazine of the Year. This is the third Gold award for Magazine of the Year for GQ under Fred Woodward's creative leadership. On a wet, cold and windy night at Ellis Island in 2003, GQ was first honored as Magazine of the Year at Pub 38--Fred's first year at GQ. GQ has consistently been a MOTY finalist every year since 2003 including their 2nd MOTY win at Pub 42 (for circulation 500,000 to 1M). Previously, Woodward lead Rolling Stone to MOTY finalist twice (Pub 34, Pub 35).
A big congratulations to Fred Woodward and his team, which includes: Art Director Anton Ioukhnovets, Designers Thomas Alberty, Chelsea Cardinal, Delgis Canahuate, Benjamin Bours, Director of Photography Dora Somosi, Photo Editors Justin O'Neill, Krista Prestek, Jolanta Bielat, Jesse Lee, Creative Director, Fashion Jim Moore, and Editor-In-Chief Jim Nelson.

Members' Choice Voting 2011
46 05.10.11
Entries are shown after the jump; you may click on each image to see a larger version of the entry on its own. Each member magazine is allowed to enter just one "best choice" from their year, in any format they choose. You will find visual solutions presented as covers, as single pages or spreads, as entire issues (as represented by a sample cover and inside pages), and your challenge is to apply your professional judgment and experience to choose the best solution. It may be design, photo, illustration or infographic; it may be a cover that stuns you or a collection of work from an issue that overwhelms you.
We encourage you to take some time before you vote; there's a reason we're putting this preview live this afternoon but not sending our members the voting link until tomorrow morning: we want you to have some time to look through all these entries and weigh your decision carefully. VOTING WILL CLOSE AT 6PM on Thursday, May 12th.
The Members' Choice winner will be announced at the Gala on Friday, May 13th. Finalists after the jump...
