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 12-13 at Universal Orlando’s Portofino Bay Hotel.
 FMA announces new category in the coveted Charlie Awards competition: Best Overall Online Presence! The category description is as follows: Recognizing editorial achievement in magazine Web sites and online-only magazines. Eligibility is limited to magazine Web sites and online-only magazines. The category honors the outstanding use of reporting, writing, photography and design in digital media and the imaginative use of interactivity and multimedia in the fulfillment of the editorial mission of the publication. The category also honors the skillful and inventive packaging of information, instruction and advice. The Web site should be well designed and the navigation clear. Web sites entered in this category must convey a distinct editorial identity and create a unique magazine environment on the Web. Publications may also include, as part of their entry, links to mobile Web sites, services and applications and examples of social media that further the mission of the magazine.
The 2010 awards competition includes 76 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.
