[THIS POST HAS BEEN UPDATED]
It’s the first thing you see on newsstands or in your mail box, and perhaps the last thing you see before you fall asleep with the magazine on your face. A great magazine cover sells itself, tells its own story, and makes you hungry to read what’s inside. It might be clever, witty, timely, delightful, or poignant–or all of these. Maybe it’s just beautiful. Or may it’s that je ne sais quoi.
This year’s National Magazine Awards jury evaluated a trove of incredible covers from magazines across Canada–from B.C. to Newfoundland, Yellowknife to Montreal, and everywhere in between.
On April 20 we announced the nominees for the 40th anniversary National Magazine Awards, including 10 finalists for Best Magazine Cover. The Gold and Silver Medals will be presented at the NMA Gala on May 26. [Tickets].
Now it’s time for you, as a connoisseur of magazine covers, to vote for your favourite. The voting ends on May 18 and we’ll announce the winner of the People’s Choice Vote on May 19 on Twitter @MagAwards.
UPDATE:
After 4000+ votes cast the winner of #NMA40 People’s Choice Best Magazine Cover is… @RicardoRecipes for the June 2016 “Strawberries” cover pic.twitter.com/hqPzBOVJf6

We are talking about a chef who is difficult to ignore. With every initiative, it is clear that he loves what he does and that he is doing everything he can, in his sphere of intervention, to make the world a better place. This vision is always conveyed by his magazines, starting with their covers.
