Magazine of the Year

Flamingo Staff

Judge’s Comments:

This magazine has all the elements of a stand-out; outstanding, creative design, beautiful

imagery, intuitive navigation, engaging front- and back-of-the-book content and well written,

insightful features. It also has a clear voice and recognizable look and feel. Great job to the entire

team!

Flamingo offers a nice mixture of rich design features coupled with hearty content on a wide

variety of topics. The writing, starting with the editorial, is solid and heartfelt, leaving the reader

with a pure look into the many things Floridians love about their state.

Florida has found its “Garden & Gun.” “Flamingo” is everything a magazine should be: a

collection of stories you won’t want to stop reading. There’s not a single page that seems like

filler. The magazine’s voice and mantra are clear from cover to cover: This is a portrait of life in

Florida, authentically told by natives and expressed with aching nostalgia by former residents.

Even the Q&As feel like real conversations. Whether you currently live in Florida or have since

moved away, this magazine will make you miss the Sunshine State—Publix subs, seaside

thunderstorms, pink flamingoes and all.
