New Talent Awards 2013 – the shortlist

The New Talent Awards promote and reward excellence by recognising the brightest and best new stars in the magazine and business media industry.

Building on the success of the PTC New Journalist Awards, New Talent showcases editorial brilliance and acknowledges the huge contribution other professionals make to the success of a brand whether the entrants, have sales or marketing responsibility or have just taken ownership of their first brand.
