2024 National City and Regional Magazine Awards Finalists Announced

On Wednesday, Texas Monthly was named a finalist for 22 National City and Regional Magazine Awards, more than any other magazine. Among those were nods for Excellence in Writing, Cover Excellence, Excellence in Design, Excellence Online, and General Excellence.

A few additional highlights from this year: the Texas Monthly art department was nominated in every single category for which it was eligible, including Designer of the Year (with nominations for Victoria Millner and Jenn Hair Tompkins), in a major testament to all the team’s hard work. Additionally, TM received two nominations, for Forrest Wilder and Mimi Swartz, in the civic journalism category, in recognition of their expert reporting on the Texas public education system. The magazine also received two nominations in the profile category for articles by Michael Hall and Emily McCullar, whose two very different pieces illustrate the incredible range with which our writers are able to tell compelling stories about Texans.

Of course, it should go without saying that making Texas Monthly is a team effort, and behind each of these nods are editors, fact-checkers, copy editors, photo editors, engagement and audio and video experts, and on and on. These nominations represent, above all, the collaboration we engage in day to day to publish the best possible work.

See below for all the nominations Texas Monthly received for work that was published in 2023. The winners will be announced at the CRMA conference in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 20.
