This past year has been a war zone for the magazine industry, with the economic downturn causing market-wide reduction of ad pages by 26.6% from the previous year, and the shuttering of over 385 titles in 2009 alone (with many more being downsized).

In these gloomy times, media types like to speculate apocalyptic scenarios, but one group is still giving out accolades for the best in magazine publishing.
