About the Western Magazine Awards Foundation
The Western Magazine Awards Foundation (WMAF) honours and celebrates editorial excellence in western Canadian magazine writing, photography, illustration and art direction. This is accomplished through an annual awards competition, a gala event where winners are announced and recognized with cash prizes, and Magazines West—a two day industry-specific professional development seminar.
Western Magazine Awards Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, governed by a volunteer Board of Directors appointed by sitting members of the Board. The Western Magazine Awards Foundation was established on March 1, 1983 in Vancouver, BC.
WMAF works to enhance the quality and diversity of Canadian magazines as well as the professional development of those working in the magazine industry to ensure the long-term vibrancy of Canadian magazines.
WMAF believes that its annual awards ceremony and professional development seminars also raise the profile of western Canadian magazines among advertisers, readers, creators and students and expands services, training and development opportunities to the industry. Magazines West, a co-production between WMAF and BC Association of Magazine Publishers (BCAMP), is the only event of its kind in western Canada.
