Both companies are represented in five of the 11 awards categories. The complete shortlist is shown below.
Judging of this year’s Independent Publisher Awards took place on November 2, when 25 magazine industry experts gathered at PPA to select the finalists and winners from more than 100 entries.
Now in their sixth year, the Independent Publisher Awards recognise and reward independent publishers with a turnover of £7 million or below.
The awards will be presented by James Caan of BBC’s Dragons’ Den at a lunchtime ceremony at Vinopolis on London's South Bank on Tuesday, December 1.
The event, supported by IPAC Strategic Partner Pensord, will be preceded by a Question Time style debate, moderated by journalist and commentator Guy Browning, that will feature leading figures from across the media industry, including Mark Frith, editor of Time Out, and Rob Grimshaw, managing director of FT.com.
Clive Foskett of Signature Publishing, chairman of PPA’s Independent Publishers Advisory Council (IPAC), said: “Winning - or even being shortlisted - is a great achievement and confers tremendous prestige on a title as well as on the individual nominated.”
