Berkshire Living Finalist for Six National Awards
3.8.10
(PITTSFIELD, Mass., March 8, 2010) - Berkshire Living is a finalist for six awards from the National City and Regional Magazine Awards, including repeat awards for General Excellence, Community Service, and General Criticism. The magazine is also being honored for its recent redesign, and once again, its two sister magazines, BBQ: Berkshire Business Quarterly and Berkshire Living Home+Garden, are finalists in the Best Ancillary publication category.
The independently owned Berkshire Living is one of only nine magazines in the nation to win six or more nominations, the others all being big-city magazines including Los Angeles, Texas Monthly, Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Boston, Cincinnati and 5280 (Denver).
“It is an incredible honor to be considered in the company of these larger, well-established magazines serving metropolitan regions,” said publisher Michael Zivyak, “as well as a tribute to the talented team we have assembled here in the Berkshires.”
Berkshire Living, which is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year, has been nominated for General Excellence in four out of the past five years. Its affiliate publications, BBQ and Home+Garden, are both receiving their second nominations this year.
As he has in the past four out of five years, editor-in-chief and cultural critic Seth Rogovoy once again faces off against writers from Los Angeles and Texas Monthly magazine for the General Criticism award, for his column, “The Beat Goes On.” This year’s submissions included columns about Roy Orbison, Warren Zevon, and “The Philly Sound.”
The magazine’s Rest of the Story program, free public forums that takes place at the Triplex Cinema in Great Barrington, Mass., has been nominated for Community Service in all four years of its existence.
“From the very beginning, we set out to give the Berkshires a magazine of high quality befitting our region,” said editor-in-chief Seth Rogovoy. “It’s great to have our peers in the industry affirm that we have succeeded in our mission.”
Of the 74 magazines in the CRMA, only 38 publications received nominations, and only 22 of these received multiple nominations.
Magazine professionals from around the country chose 142 finalists representing 38 publications in the 25-year-old National City and Regional Magazine Association’s awards competition. Magazines of varying circulations competed in 29 categories, including editorial, design, online and ancillary publications. Judges named five finalists in most categories and will choose one ultimate winner in each. The awards for work completed in 2009 will be announced at the CRMA 34th Annual Conference June 5-7 at the Westin Providence in Providence, RI.
More than 75 judges representing publications such as Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, The American Prospect, Body+Soul, Sports Illustrated, Good Housekeeping, Glamour, Taste of Home, Men’s Journal, Budget Travel, The New York Times, Food & Wine, Bon Appétit, ESPN The Magazine, The Washington Post, Outdoor Life, Men’s Journal, USA Weekend, Fitness and journalism professors from the Missouri School of Journalism selected the finalists.
