Sponsored annually by the Florida Magazine Association (FMA), the Charlie Awards honor publishing excellence in the state of Florida. This year’s awards will be presented at the FMA’s Annual Conference, August 21-23 at Universal Orlando’s Portofino Bay Hotel.

The 2008 awards competition includes 75 categories in the areas of General Excellence, Editorial Excellence, Design Excellence and Printing Excellence. Judges for this year’s competition comprise a “who’s who” of leading writers, editors, photographers and designers from outside Florida. Awards are the decision of the independent panel of judges and are based solely on that panel’s evaluation of each entry. After judges critique this year’s winning entries, their comments will be made available at the FMA Conference Awards Gala. Winners will also be featured on FMA’s Web site, www.floridamagazine.org.

The coveted Charlie Awards represent the pinnacle of achievement in Florida magazine publishing. Showcase your publication’s accomplishments and receive the recognition you deserve by entering today. Then, plan on joining us this summer at our annual conference, where Florida’s finest magazine professionals come to learn and share ideas that will shape the future of their publications.
