New Divisions!

  • Association/Non-profit/B2B Magazines: Nonprofit, institutional, and foundation magazines, as well as magazines targeted for a specific career or point of interest.
  • Consumer Magazines: This division may be further divided into circulation brackets of Under 20,000 and Over 20,000. Divisions are based on print circulation only.
  • Spanish language: Magazines that publish in Spanish.

Please note: Due to many recent changes in magazine distribution, if your magazine has recently moved to digital-only distribution, it will compete in the division that it competed in last year. For example, if a magazine competed in the Consumer Under 20,000 division in 2020 and then went to a completely digital distribution model, it will automatically compete in Consumer Under 20,000 in 2021. If a digital-only publication is entering the Charlies for the first time in 2021, please contact Membership Director Devon Dunkle at ddunkle@mediagenius.com to determine the division to compete in. This rule may change in subsequent contest years.

Fill out the Division Verification Form.
