Three Active Interest Media Marine Group magazines were named finalists in the annual Folio: Eddie & Ozzie awards.
The annual journalism awards program covers print and digital media. The Eddies recognize excellence in editorial content, and the Ozzies highlight the best in design.
The Yachts International Spring 2023 issue is a finalist in the Full Issue – Consumer – Enthusiast/Hobby category. The Soundings April 2022 issue is a finalist in the Full Issue – City & Regional – Northeast category. PassageMaker is a finalist in the Single Article – Consumer – Enthusiast/Hobby category for the story “V for Victory” in the April 2023 issue.
“We’re exceptionally proud that three of our titles are being recognized with these prestigious awards,” Daniel Harding Jr., vice president and editorial director of the AIM Marine Group, said in a statement. “In a world where there are so many platforms vying for our attention, rich, immersive storytelling has to remain the foundation of everything we do. It’s gratifying that Folio: also values and recognizes that.”
More than 1,100 entries were received across nearly 170 categories. Winners will be announced at an awards gala in New York City on Oct. 24.
“The publishing industry is bursting with talented professionals working around the clock to deliver meaningful and engaging content to communities of like interests around the globe,” Trish Borrelli, senior marketing director for the awards program, said in the statement. “When you truly consider how difficult it is to reach and engage an audience with your content over other options and then see the ripple effect from the buzz created, you understand why this recognition program means so much to the publishing industry.”
Soundings Trade Only is also part of the AIM Marine Group.
