National Magazine Awards 2024 entries must be submitted online at nationalmagazineawards.org 

To enter the ASME Award for Fiction, the ASME Awards for Design, Photography and Illustration and the ASME NEXT Awards, go to asmeawards.org

Entrants are advised to visit the websites for category-specific instructions before preparing submissions.

Entries containing content originally published in print require the submission of PDFs. PDFs of individual submissions should be converted to a single file in correct page order before uploading. Advertisements should not be included. Pages in editorial spreads should be shown together. High-resolution files are preferred.

Entries containing digital content require the submission of web links or app-specific instructions, including usernames and passwords. Entries submitted by publications that fail to include usernames and passwords enabling judges to access digital content free of charge may be deemed ineligible.

The submission of print issues is required for print-only and multiplatform entries in General Excellence. Print issues are also required in the National Magazine Awards’ Design and Photography categories but only for entries containing complete issues (the submission of print issues or other content in print is otherwise not required or permitted in any category). Three copies of each issue must be submitted. Print issues should be bundled with a copy of the entry-confirmation email attached. Magazines should be shipped to ASME, 23 Barnabas Road, Suite 34, Hawleyville, CT 06440-0034.

ENTRY AND PROCESSING FEES ASME provides significant financial support for the administration and presentation of the National Magazine Awards and the ASME Awards for Design, Photography and Illustration, entitling ASME members who are registered and remit dues as chief editors to pay lower entry fees (chief editors of publication groups may apply their membership discount to entries submitted by no more than one magazine or website). To receive this benefit, chief editors’ ASME membership must be current as of the date of entry. Journalists who join ASME as chief editors before the date of entry are also entitled to pay lower fees. Information about ASME membership categories can be found at asme.media/membership.
