Out honored with national magazine award nomination

Out magazine has been named a finalist for the 45th annual National Magazine Awards, the preeminent awards for magazine journalism, sponsored by the American Society of Magazine Editors in association with the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.  
Out was named a finalist in the Photo Portfolio category for Jason Bell’s elegant “Out 100: School Days” photo collection and will compete with National Geographic, New York, The New Yorker, and W.
 
“We’re thrilled to be nominated in such a competitive category and among such outstanding company,” said Out Editor in Chief Aaron Hicklin. “This award reflects an incredibly ambitious portfolio of 100 people that was a true team effort requiring collaboration on every front, from photography to edit to design—a portfolio, moreover, that serves as an acknowledgement of the achievements of the LGBT community.”
