The PPA Awards are the most coveted in the magazine industry, showcasing excellence, rewarding innovation, and providing the benchmark by which UK publishing judges itself, says the PPA. Each year the cream of the magazine world gathers to celebrate the successes of the past year at one of the most spectacular events in the industry calendar.
The PPA Awards 2012 will be presented at a glittering ceremony at the Grosvenor House hotel in Park Lane, London, on 20 June 2012. Categories cover a wide range of disciplines across consumer, business and customer publishing and provide a unique opportunity for magazine brands and individuals to gain national recognition for outstanding achievement over the past 12 months.
