Magazine of the Year:
Minnesota Monthly
The award is a cumulative honor, tracking awards results all the way back to the founding of MMPA’s annual awards competition in 1996. Every award that a magazine has won since then will be figured into the total: Gold, 3 points; Silver, 2 points; Bronze, 1 point. The magazine with the most cumulative points wins, and becomes the current—and this year, the first—MMPA Magazine of the Year
