Here are this year’s three finalists for Magazine Website of the Year:
What the judges said about hazlittmag.com:
Hazlitt’s minimal design style draws you in with engaging imagery and genuine voices. The stories it publishes play to the strength of the medium both in tone and technique. There is no other publication quite like Hazlittmag.com; their confidence in their mandate is an invigorating example of what Canadian magazines can be online.
What the judges said about Macleans.ca:
One does not come to macleans.ca and wonder what there is to read. The site does a tremendous job presenting a deep mix of news and opinion within a distinct design that ably reflects its print sibling, but does so with a uniquely digital spin. It’s an ambitious site that delivers everything from original content, clean layout and a great user experience.
What the judges said about torontolife.com:
Torontolife.com is a tremendous example of a magazine that has extended its brand online to add new and unique value to the magazine’s strengths. Where they’ve been exceptionally successful is in showcasing the unique character of the city where many other digitally native sites have failed. Extensive, well packaged, and true to its readership.
Congratulations to the three finalists for Magazine Website of the Year. The winner will be revealed at the 36th annual National Magazine Awards gala on June 7 at The Carlu in Toronto. [INFO & TICKETS]
