About the National Magazine Awards
First presented in 1966, the National Magazine Awards are sponsored by the American Society of Magazine Editors in association with the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and are administered by ASME. Every year more than 250 magazines and websites enter the awards, submitting 1,000-plus entries. Judged by nearly 300 writers, editors, art directors, photo editors and educators, the National Magazine Awards are presented annually at a gala reception in New York City attended by 400 journalists and publishers. The winner of each National Magazine Award receives a copper “Ellie,” modeled on the symbol of the awards, Alexander Calderʼs 1942 stabile “Elephant Walking.” The ASME Awards for Design, Photography and Illustration, the ASME Award for Fiction and the ASME NEXT Awards for Journalists Under 30 are judged and presented with the National Magazine Awards.
