56th Annual KRW AwardsAbout the Submission ProcessThe submissions process for the 56th Annual KRW awards is now closed. Nominations will be announced by May 1st. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter (simply send us your email address) to have the full list of nominees emailed to you. Winners will be announced at the 56th Annual KRW Award gala on June 1, 2010 in Toronto. About the new KRW AwardsFor the first time in its 56-year history, the Kenneth R. Wilson Awards recognizing the best of 2009 will be co-produced by the Canadian Business Press and Magazines Canada. This partnership will provide a broader, deeper and more truly national platform for the celebration of bilingual excellence in Canada's Business Press. A Governing Board that includes representatives from across the industry and working with Barbara Gould & Associates—the same firm that has produced the National Magazine Awards for 5 years—has been mandated to reassess every aspect of the awards program and to ensure that it meets the same high standards that Canada's business editors bring to all of their publications, websites and audiences. New to the 56th Annual KRWs is the prestigious Magazine of the Year award, which will recognize the publication that best displays overall excellence in content and design, that most consistently mirrors its mandate/mission, and that most effectively engages and serves the needs of its readers. Four new Internet categories have been introduced in order to better recognize the importance of online activities in the engagement and service of the business industry’s audiences. And an award for Best One-of-a-Kind Article has been added to make the competition inclusive and allow for entries that are not easily classified. We will continually strive to ensure the judging process is fair and transparent. Please take the time to read the complete list of revised rules and the description of the judging process. If you have any suggestions on how to make the awards program even better, or you would like to volunteer your time as a judge or committee member, please email us at staff@krwawards.ca. We encourage you to enter—and enter often. All members and non-members of the industry are welcome to submit. The early-bird entry fees are $100 each. Then join us to celebrate excellence when the KRWs are presented this June as part of the MagNet conference. John W Kerr
