UPDATE: Florida Magazine Association Rescinds Charlie Awards from
former editor of Ocala Magazine Heather Lee
Full Story
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 6-7 at Universal Orlando’s Portofino Bay Hotel.
The 2009 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.
Judges for this year’s
