Photo Gallery: Grazia wins 2012 Magazine Cover of the Year

Grazia has won ‘Magazine Cover of the Year’ with their January 30, 2012 issue featuring a patriotic Miranda Kerr as Australia’s Wonder Woman. The stunning Grazia cover beat over 220 titles across eleven categories to be crowned overall winner of The Maggies: Magazine Cover Awards 2012, as well as winning the Weeklies category.

Initiated and sponsored by online subscription company, iSUBSCRiBE, the covers entered in The Maggies were shortlisted by a panel of industry heavyweights, chaired by Ita Buttrose. This shortlist was then put to a public vote via www.themaggies.com.au, where over 85,000 votes were cast during a five week period.

Ita Buttrose said of the winning cover, “This is an extremely appealing cover. It has impact, pizzazz and that ‘look at me’ factor that all covers must have. Miranda Kerr is a great cover choice as she is a popular celebrity with appeal and especially since becoming a mother. Good cover lines; excellent use of colour. Well done Grazia.”

Magazine Publishers were encouraged to donate to Alzheimer’s Australia, plus everyone who voted received a $5 iSUBSCRiBE gift voucher, with $1 from each magazine subscription purchased using the voucher going to charity. iSUBSCRiBE says more than $12,000 has been raised so far.
