Categories include editor, art director and columnist of the year, plus cover of the year and outstanding piece of digital art & design. Entries close on 14 August.

The BSME - The British Society of Magazine Editors Awards 2024 are open for entries from editors, art directors and columnists. We have made two changes to reflect the evolving journalism landscape: (1) Beautiful art and design are an integral part of what makes magazine media special, so we have introduced a new category, Outstanding Piece of Digital Art & Design. This new award celebrates an outstanding piece of digital content design that makes a significant impact for a brand that is akin to a magazine cover. The BSME judges will welcome a broad range of entries that demonstrate excellence in digital art, design and craft. The award sits alongside our three Cover of the Year awards for B2B, consumer and (new for this year) independent titles. (2) In the interests of transparency, all entrants must disclose on their award entry form if they have used artificial intelligence in any part of their entry and give a brief explanation.
