Before you start:
Entries to the Publisher Newsletter Awards are free, but to be considered for any of the below categories, please note that the following criteria must be met first.
The newsletter:
- Must be from a publisher* that releases content regularly and primarily in at least one other medium - print or online.
- Will have been available for download/streaming for at least eight weeks prior to entries closing in May, with plans to continue (unless a planned limited run).
- Must have published a newsletter between May 2023 and May 2024.
We welcome entries from all over the world as we believe newsletters should be celebrated globally, but for the purposes of judging, we can only accept English-language newsletters. Please be aware for overseas entries that the awards ceremony will be held in London in July 2024.
Entries now close on May 10th 2024.
*B2B or B2C organisation of any size whose primary purpose is to publish editorial content to an audience across print or online. Unfortunately, we cannot accept entries from blogs or companies whose primary business is not publishing at this time.
Judging:
Once entries have closed and judging is complete, a shortlist will be announced in late May 2024. The shortlist will be judged by leading media and publishing figures from around the world to determine a winner for each category. A full list of judges can be seen on our website. The exception to this is the ‘Publisher Newsletter of the Year’ category, which will be chosen from among the winners of other categories by the Media Voices team and announced on the night.
About the event:
The Publisher Newsletter Awards will take place in July 2024 in London. Tickets will go on sale in May 2024.
The event will be open to everyone, and we’d love you to join us to celebrate the best publisher newsletters, whether shortlisted or not. If you can't attend, that will in no way affect your entry, which is judged by an independent panel of experts. We won't swap out a winner just because they couldn't make it.
