The 10 shortlisted entries for the Front Cover of the Year category will now be put to the public, vote here.
All of the winners will be announced at the awards ceremony at The Grosvenor House Hotel on July 9. The event will also include the presentation of the PPA Chairman's Award, and the announcement of the 2015 inductee into the PPA Hall of Fame.
Barry McIlheney, CEO of the PPA, said: "Congratulations to everyone who has made it on to such a competitive shortlist for this year's PPA Awards. This event is now in its 35th year and is always the biggest night in the magazine media calendar.
