Three Active Interest Media Marine Group magazines have been named finalists in the annual Folio: Eddie & Ozzie awards. The Eddies recognize editorial excellence, and the Ozzies honor magazine design

The Winter 2024 issue of Anglers Journal is a finalist in the single-issue category, and the Fall 2023 issue of Yachts International. Yachts International is also a finalist in the single-article category for “Water Music.” Passagemaker’s “Big Cats, Big Adventure” article also was recognized in the single-article category.

“It’s always exceptionally gratifying to be recognized by the industry for the great work our editors are doing on a daily basis,” Dan Harding, editorial director of the AIM Marine Group, said in a statement. “While these awards represent single stories and single issues, to me they represent the countless hours our team pours into every story, photo, caption and issue all year round. I’m thankful to be part of this passionate and talented team.”

More than 1,000 entries were received in nearly 80 categories.

“While digital transformation continues to reshape how we interact with content, the desire for tactile print remains strong,” said Becky Peck, group publisher of Folio. “In this competitive landscape, delivering exceptional content and design is key to cutting through the noise, whether your platform is print, digital or a hybrid.”

The award winners will be announced Oct. 22.
