Acknowledgements

We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canada Magazine Fund of the Department of Canadian Heritage.

Co-financing

The application process for co-financing 2009 has closed. 

Have budget constraints prevented your publication from submitting entries for the National Magazine Awards? 

We may have the solution. The National Magazine Awards Foundation believes that restricted financial resources should not prevent small, qualified Canadian magazines from submitting their best work to the NMA annual contest.  In order to ensure that the contest truly acknowledges the best work in the Canadian magazine industry, the National Magazine Awards Foundation now offers a co-financing plan to help smaller magazines participate. 

To be eligible, your publication's annual revenue must be below $250,000 (this figure represents all revenues received including any grants, subsidies or funding from foundations, associations or corporations).  For magazines with a total paid and controlled circulation of 20,000 or less, the fund will provide a subsidy for the magazine’s first three entries. The Foundation has set aside a limited fund and the subsidy will be made available on a first come, first served basis to those applicants who meet the qualifying criteria stated above.  

Submitters are asked to provide a recent print run confirmation from the magazine’s printer, or an ABC or CCAB audited statement.

Completed applications must be received at the Foundation office by fax or email no later than Friday, December 11, 2009.  Applicants will be notified by email of their acceptance by December 18, 2009.

Once accepted, the applicant must provide full payment with their entries, following which a refund cheque will be prepared and sent to them no later than February 28, 2010.  

If you have any questions about the status of your application please contact us at staff@magazine-awards.com.
