The Australian Women’s Weekly scooped the pool at the 2002 Magazine Publishers of Australia (MPA) Awards – the magazine world’s equivalent of the Oscars – which were held on Thursday, July 11, at Sydney’s Four Seasons Hotel.

The Australian Women’s Weekly won a total of five awards, including the gold trophy for Magazine of the Year, the General Excellence Award for General Interest/News and Editor of the Year.

Judges commented that The Weekly’s Editor, Deborah Thomas, had “done a fantastic job in turning The Weekly around”.

The Australian Women’s Weekly was also awarded two major advertising awards: Ad Trade Marketing Campaign of the Year and Best Use of the Magazine Environment for Advertising.

This year there were 77 finalists across 19 categories, judged by editors and publishers from Australia’s leading consumer magazine companies.

We would like to thank all our dedicated readers for their loyal support, and for helping us in our success.
