Throw A Dog A Bone

Throw A Dog A Bone

Beside this year's competition being a special one (new categories, eliminated circulation rule, free mag of the year entry,) and in lieu of our canine Best in Show theme, we're also giving back to the companion animal.
By submitting for one of our new categories (creature feature,) the entry fee will be donated to Bidewee.org, one of the oldest humane organizations in the United States. Download entry form here.

Oh but competition 44 is for your magazine
As with my own experience meeting folks last month from the publishing industry in Denmark and Norway, and from all those amazing mags in the Berlin Shop of Heaven our SPD Pres Scott Dadich posted about, we see there's some fantastic work from all over the globe that can be rewarded and shown off in the published annual, so keep note that this an international competition.

This is a dog whistle everyone can hear: The moment you enter your magazine in any of our other 54 categories(!) you're eligible to enter Magazine of the Year at NO additional cost. Hear that? … MORE
NEW Categories!? MORE Categories!? WHAT?

NEW Categories!? MORE Categories!? WHAT?

Here's the deal with this year's bow-wow competition 44: No more circulation categories, but focus on content. Shazaam. Like goes with like, and the unsung (non-celebrity work, service, etc.) are DEFINITELY getting a medal at the Gala. Whaaat!?! Yeah, no joke. It's time to keep the groups together, like pooches at the Westminster Dog Show. Download entry form here.
