The Mag Meet: Running an awards for your magazine – 6 September

Every month we hold The Mag Meet, an online event for our Patrons, giving them tips and ideas to help them improve their businesses. This month, we’re talking all-things-awards.

Our next edition of The Mag Meet will be held at 1pm BST / 9am EDT on the 6th of September, when we’ll be talking all-things-awards.

If you’re thinking about starting an awards for your magazine, if you’ve just launched one, or if you’ve been running one for a while, join us to discuss:

  • What’s the purpose in an awards – both for you and for your reader
  • What formats you can choose
  • How to make money from awards, and how to balance this with making them accessible
  • Creating categories, entry forms and promoting entries
  • Judging – choosing judges, keeping them informed, the judging process and the shortlist
  • The awards ceremony

The Mag Meet is open to all International Magazine Centre Patrons.


The Mag Meet is a free monthly online dedicated to our International Magazine Centre Patrons.

For free access to this and free or discounted attendance at all our online events, sign up to be an International Magazine Centre Patron from £5/m.
