M-real’s customer magazine M-real Magazine has won gold in the ‘Best Overall Design, B-to-B’ category in Folio Magazine’s Eddies and Ozzies Awards. The international Folio Awards are the magazine industry’s largest competition, celebrating the best in both editorial quality and design and visual standards. The 2010 category winners were announced in New York on 25 January 2011.
“The team in M-real and publishing house Otavamedia Kynämies has done excellent job. M-real Magazine is a publication that stands out and is highly appreciated by our customers,” says Juha Laine, Editor-in-chief, VP Investor Relations and Communications of M-real Corporation. “The winning issue’s theme was design. A lot of thought went into making it, but even so, winning gold was a very positive surprise.”
“This issue is a great example of what can be achieved with our products, here in particular with speciality papers from M-real Zanders. The cover’s CHROMOLUX, the luxurious cast-coated paper, and the text pages’ coated paper Medley plus and transparent paper Spectral demonstrate how our papers can add impact and provide inspiration for many creative design areas,” explains Laine.
The 2010 awards drew more than 2,000 entries, which were judged by an international panel of 100 experts. Both printed magazines and web publications are represented in the competition, organised by Folio Magazine.
