Congratulations Jones - Dish cover of the year

Despite the fact that they were the 'new boys' on the block Jones and Maxim made their presence felt at this year's awards which are run by the Magazines Publishers Association.

Established for less than two years, Jones has already developed a reputation as a publisher who dares to be different. And its collaboration with Maxim has proved to be the icing on the cake, especially as far as Dish is concerned.

Winner in its category for the cover of the year, the judges commented that Dish, 'Absolutely stood out for effectiveness, great masthead combined with the simple drama of the shot'.

Dish was also highly commended in the Magazine of the Year and not surprisingly, Mary Davy, Maxim's Creative Director, was awarded designer of the year in the very competitive Home and Food category.

Not to be outdone, the less elevated, Freebie won relaunch of the year. Jones' astute strategy for the distribution of Freedom Air's in-flight magazine resulted in increases in readership, advertising revenue and client opportunities.
