BSME Rising Stars Awards 2016 – the shortlist

The British Society of Magazine Editors has announced the shortlist for its 2016 Rising Stars Awards.

Launched in 2013, the Rising Stars Awards were created to celebrate and reward the brilliance of the all-too-often overlooked members of editorial and digital teams up to and including deputy editor, says the BSME.

Nominated entrants don’t need to be newcomers as these awards are to recognise outstanding work by long-standing team members just as much as those who are up-and-coming.

The BSME Rising Stars Awards will be presented at a celebratory party at Restaurant 1901, Andaz Liverpool Street, on Monday 6 June.
