Congratulations to the 2016 Magazine Pacemaker finalists!<\/p>\n

Magazine Pacemaker judging, which\u00a0took place at MSP-Communication’s office, was a tedious process.\u00a0Many entries stood out with high-quality design and content. The three judges started with 96 entries and narrowed them down to 22 finalists.<\/p>\n

Judges looked for strong covers \u2014 ones with eye-catching photography, sharp design, personality and intrigue. Simple, clean design went a long way, as did professionalism. One of the judges said\u00a0several entries were so excellent they could imagine them sitting on retail shelves among other professional\u00a0magazines.<\/p>\n

Judges looked for magazines that knew their readers. As stated for one finalist, \u201cThey really know their audience. The content and design is intentional and well executed.\u201d It was important to have a clear vision maintained throughout the entire work.<\/p>\n

Winners will be announced at the Associated Collegiate Press National College Media Convention<\/a> in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n
