Edmonton, Alberta (June 11th 2008) – The team behind Unlimited magazine returned from Toronto this weekend with a groundbreaking accomplishment under their belts. Unlimited won the National Magazine Award for Best Art Direction for an Entire Issue and received an honourable mention for Best Editorial Package. The National Magazine Awards are the highest honour bestowed in Canada’s highly competitive magazine publishing industry and this is the first time an Alberta-based magazine has won gold for Best Art Direction for an Entire Issue. The award was presented to Unlimited’s art director, Malcolm Brown at the National Magazine Awards Gala in Toronto on Friday June 6th.

“It’s an honour to win a National Magazine Award and to represent Alberta on a national stage,” says Joyce Byrne, associate publisher of Unlimited.

Heading into its first anniversary, Unlimited has already earned critical buzz as Canada’s next generation business magazine. Targeted to the 20-35 year-old crowd, it seems fitting that the magazine has won a national award for its visual layout and design.

“When we decided to launch a career/lifestyle magazine for ambitious and educated young Canadians, we knew the look of the magazine was going to be very important,” says Byrne. “We needed an art director who could reflect the excitement and relevance of the editorial content through the visual components of the magazine. From the very first issue, Malcolm’s one-of-a-kind talent made Unlimited jump off the newsstand. We’re very proud to see him receive such esteemed recognition from his peers on a national level.”

The award was presented for Unlimited’s Giving Issue, released in November 2007. The current issue of Unlimited is available at newsstands throughout Canada or at www.unlimitedmagazine.com.
