Announcing the Winners of 2010 KRW Awards

Hundreds of guests gathered at the Carlu in Toronto to celebrate the country’s best in business press journalism at the 56th annual Kenneth R. Wilson Awards (KRW Awards) gala. This year’s formal event, co-produced by Canadian Business Press and Magazines Canada, saw Gold, Silver and Honourable Mention awards in 21 categories handed out from a field of 180 nominations from 68 Canadian business-to-business magazines. 

Among the new categories making their debut in the KRW Awards lineup was the most prestigious Magazine of the Year, given to the publication that displays overall excellence in content and design, and that most consistently mirrors its mandate/mission, and most effectively engages and serves the needs of its readers. The first-ever winner of this coveted honour was Alberta Oil, edging out nominees Precedent and Salon Magazine.

About the winning magazine, the judges noted: “A magazine appealing to the senior executives of the energy sector in Alberta and the rest of Canada, Alberta Oil combines high-quality photography, illustration and graphics, and in-depth coverage on ‘the business of energy.’ Its attention to detail makes for a strong visual and editorial statement, offering a look at every aspect of this vital industry.

Another highlight was the Website of the Year award—given to the website that most successfully fulfills its editorial mission, effectively serves its audience, maximizes use of the web and represents the highest journalistic standards—which saw Advisor.Ca taking the Gold and Salon Magazine (salon52.ca) the Silver.
