This year, the format dramatically changed to reflect the ever-changing magazine landscape. Previously there were several categories that didn't require entries, the winners were instead decided from the broader market based on circulation growth, readership, advertising volume, front cover, editorial content and design.

There are 21 categories open for entires – with no magazines getting through without entering - reflecting the diversity of the industry - including five new ones.
