Entries have opened for the British Society of Magazine Editors (BSME) Awards 2023, with 32 categories celebrating the best work by Britain’s magazine and digital editors and art directors, with five brand new categories - Art Director of the Year - Digital, Art Director of the Year - Newspaper supplements, Art Director of the Year - Independent, Cover of the Year - Digital, the New Editor Award and The DEI Leadership Award.

Two categories are nominated by our members: the BSME Editors’ Editor 2023 is decided by BSME members while our flagship Mark Boxer Award is awarded by the BSME committee to the editor who’s made the biggest lifelong contribution to our sector. Our current Editors’ Editor is Gaby Huddart of Good Housekeeping and the late Marcus Fairs, the founder and editor-in-chief of Dezeen, was named as our Mark Boxer winner for 2022.

The eligibility period for the BSME Awards 2023 is 1 August 2022 to 31 July 2023 - this is the on sale/availability date, not the date on the cover. Only work published during this period may be submitted.

The closing date for entries and nominations is Tuesday 1 August 2023 at 6pm. For the full list of 2023 categories and the rules and criteria visit bsme.com. Winners will be announced at the BSME Awards 2023 event in November.
