The search is on for Britain's best church magazine. Entries are now invited for the annual competition run by the Association for Church Editors (ACE), which is an independent rather than a commercial organisation. The competition has been running since ACE started over 20 years ago.
"Church magazines are often a forgotten but effective means of communication," says Sally Churchus, Chair of the national organisation, "so we are keen to encourage editors everywhere."
For the coming 2022 competition, which closes on 7th February, awards will be made for A5 magazines which include all or some colour printing. The Gold Award winner will receive the John King Trophy, to be held for one year, while Silver and Bronze Awards will receive an inscribed trophy to keep, together with a Certificate of Excellence for display.
A panel of judges assesses each magazine, giving points for various aspects including cover design, headlines and clarity of the Christian message. The prize-giving in the summer is open to everyone and will include a lecture by a Keynote Speaker and talks on various ways to improve your magazine. The date and venue will be announced in due course.
