The selection process is 2-step: firstly entries are reviewed by a judging panel, which recommends a group of finalists; a second judging panel then chooses one winner in each category.

There are a number of Award categories including Leisure Interests, Public Interests, Design, Fiction, Essays, Reporting and even a General Excellence Online Award.

The General Excellence Award is categorized by circulation and this year included such mags as: Glamour, The New Yorker, Wired, Martha Stewart Weddings, Dwell and Print.
