Congratulations to Texas Monthly on winning an unprecedented 16 awards at the 21st Annual National City and Regional Magazine Awards competition this week. Texas Monthly won the top award in nine categories, including criticism, cover, excellence in writing, excellence in design, and civic journalism, along with a gold award for general excellence in its circulation category.
John Spong of Texas Monthly won Writer of the Year, while Creative Director Scott Dadich won Designer of the Year.
Los Angeles magazine, which, like Texas Monthly, is published by Emmis Communications, won 13 awards.
Dallas’ D magazine won the “Excellence Online” award. Earlier this month, I noted that the websites for the top two award-winning titles had a ways to go to catch up with their print counterparts.
