The Foundation Award for Outstanding Achievement
The NMAF’s most prestigious individual prize since
its inception in 1990 is The Foundation Award for Outstanding Achievement, an award that recognizes an
individual's innovation and creativity through contributions to the magazine industry.
The award is open to circulation experts, editors, marketing, sales and promotion professionals,
publishers, designers, production managers - in short, to everyone in the industry. It cannot be given
posthumously.
Nominations for this award are welcome from everyone in the industry. The nomination consists of a letter
from the nominator indicating the candidate’s name, title and career achievements, with supporting letters
from at least two (2) other individuals.
The Judging Committee of the National Magazine Awards Foundation
will consider the nominations, along with nominations from members of the Committee itself. The Board of the
National Magazine Awards Foundation will select the winner. No entry fee is required. Applicants not
selected will be kept under consideration for two (2) additional years.
The deadline for submissions for the 2011 Foundation Award for
Outstanding Achievement is March 1, 2012.
Or you may send applications by email - including PDFs of all
supporting letters - to staff[at]magazine-awards[dot]com.
