It doesn’t have the glitz of the Oscar nominations but the annual announcement of who is up for awards at the annual Alberta Magazine Publishers Association conference is watched closely in certain quarters.
“It’s a gratifying pat on the back from one’s peers and a chance to celebrate the talented freelancers who contribute to the magazine,” said Bruce Weir, editor of Swerve, after learning the magazine is up for 14 awards. “The nominations are also a nod to our art director, Brent Morrison, and Going Out editor, Jon Roe, who work tirelessly on each issue.”
