Women's fashion title Grazia swept this year's Maggies 'Magazine Cover Awards' with its patriotic issue featuring Miranda Kerr, winning Cover of the Year Award and the Weeklies category.
The ACP-owned magazine was awarded the much-coveted gongs for its 30 January 2012 issue at last night's annual Maggies 'Magazine Cover Awards'.
The winning image featured local supermodel Miranda Kerr dressed as Wonder Woman holding an Australian flag, accompanied by headlines in the country's iconic colours.
The women's fashion and lifestyle magazine beat over 220 entered titles across the award's eleven categories.
Maggies judging panel chiar Ita Buttrose said it was an "extremely appealing" cover.
"It has impact, pizzazz and that ‘look at me’ factor that all covers must have. Miranda Kerr is a great cover choice as she is a popular celebrity with appeal and especially since becoming a mother. Good cover lines. Excellent use of colour. Well done Grazia.”
Other industry gongs included Fashion & Beauty Winner Harper's Bazaar (June/July 2012) and Lifestyle Winner R.M. Williams OUTBACK (December/January 2012).
The Maggies were initiated and continue to be sponsored by online subscription company iSubscribe.
Its shortlisted titles were chosen by a panel of industry figures, which was then to put to a public vote over a five week period.
