Today at Folio:Show in Chicago, the 2008 FOLIO Awards were announced, “the top awards for editorial and design excellence in the largest competition for magazines.”

The 2007 issue of Suffolk Arts+Sciences received the Gold EDDIE Award for Supplemental Annual/One-Shot, Full Issue, recognizing editorial excellence for an entire issue.

The magazine also took home the Bronze OZZIE Award for Best Design, New Magazine, Association/Non-Profit. Seth Sirbaugh, art director/graphic designer for Suffolk Arts+Sciences and creative director at Bates Creative Group, took the Gold in that same category with another of his designs, Insight magazine.

Folio Awards are prestigious honors within the magazine publishing industry, and both achievements are significant recognition of the College’s alumni magazine, which has received five national design and editorial awards since its launch in July 2007.

The 2007 premier issue of Suffolk Arts+Sciences has recently been nominated for two more magazine awards: the Folio: Eddie and Ozzie awards. A “highlight of FOLIO is the magazine’s recognition of the industry’s best editorial and design achievements. The Eddie Awards honor the quality of magazine content while the Ozzie Awards recognize excellence in magazine design.”

FOLIO named Suffolk Arts+Sciences as a finalist in the following two categories:

OZZIE Awards Nomination (design)–Best Design, New Magazine,  Association/Non-Profit
EDDIE Awards Nomination (editorial)–Supplemental Annual/One-Shot,  Full Issue

Winners will be announced September 22, 2008 from the Folio: Show in Chicago.
