Call for entries opens online Monday, May 3, 2010
The deadline for entries is Tuesday June 15, 2010 at 9 p.m. All entries must be received before this deadline.
Entries will not be accepted after 9 p.m. Tuesday June 15, 2010.
WMAF will not make exceptions for courier or postal delays.
Written Categories You must upload a PDF of every written entry. There is no need to conceal the author's name. No tearsheets are required, but you must deliver your master and entry forms, along with payment or proof of PAYPAL payment.
Visual Categories Tear sheets are no longer accepted for any of the visual categories. You MUST upload a low-to-mid resolution PDF or JPG of the entry during the online submission process. You must deliver your master and entry forms, along with payment or proof of PAYPAL payment.
Magazine of the Year (New, Trade and Provincial) Submitters are asked to send four sets of three consecutive issues of their magazines, all dated in 2009, with an entry form and cover letter attached to each set that describes the aims and objectives of the publication, including its readership, and its circulation. For Best New Magazine category, the inaugural issue of the publication must have been on or after January 2008, as the WMAF will allow New Magazines to go back two years, instead of one, in order to permit three consecutive issues to be submitted. A publication can only enter the New Magazine category once. Publication entries that are primarily advertorial will be ruled inadmissible for Magazine of the Year categories (defined as publications produced for the purpose of promoting the interest of the principal business of the publisher, or where the principal business is other than magazine publishing).
Who May Submit
Magazine publishers, editors, art directors and
freelance contributors are all eligible to submit. Editors and art directors should consult with freelancers
to avoid duplication.
Entry Fee
The fee for each entry is $55 (plus GST) if the entry
appeared in a magazine with a circulation of 20,000 or less; $75 (plus GST) if the entry appeared in a
magazine with a circulation of more than 20,000. Send one cheque or money order (or pay by PAYPAL) for
the total number of entries submitted (made payable to the Western Magazine Awards Foundation) with your
entries. Entry fees are non-refundable.
