CALGARY, June 1, 2020 – The Alberta Magazine Publishers Association (AMPA) is pleased to announce the showcase finalists for magazine content created in the province in 2019.
The Gold and Silver winners will be announced at a virtual awards gala on June 25. This year, more than 50 judges chose finalists in 18 written and visual categories.
“The Alberta Magazine Awards program could not exist without the highly skilled professionals who volunteer their time and talents as judges. On behalf of the AMPA board of directors, I extend our appreciation,” said Suzanne Trudel, AMPA executive director.
The program honors and celebrates the work of Alberta’s magazine creators – the editors, art directors, writers, photographers, illustrators, and other creators – who collectively bring passion and insight to our unique Alberta culture and ensure Alberta voices and stories are shared throughout the province and beyond our borders.
“The work created by all our member magazines contributes to the province’s cultural vibrancy and exemplifies the enduring resilience of magazine media,” says Trudel.
