The Innovator Award

The Innovator Award was first presented in 2002. This award recognizes companies that have successfully established and executed a new concept in the magazine publishing business. This new concept could range from a particularly successful publication (or launch) to a more-efficient production technique.

Eligibility

Nominees must presently be MMPA members. A print or online publishing product or service that incrementally or radically changes thinking, products, processes or organizations.
