Multi award winning magazine design and editorial

Smith win international design award for CAM, the Cambridge University  magazine – in fact it's two prestigious international design awards!

The magazine has been named 2010 Robert Sibley Magazine of the Year, becoming the first ever non-US-based publication in the award's 67-year history to win this prize. The magazine also beat academic publications from around the world to win a Gold Award in the category of College and University General Interest Magazines with Circulations over 75,000.

The prizes are awarded by CASE, the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, and judged by a panel of experts. This year, 615 higher education institutions from around the world submitted more than 2700 entries in the Circle of Excellence Awards programme.

"We are absolutely delighted to have won such a prestigious prize, and to be the first non-US institution to have done so," said CAM's editor, freelance journalist Mira Katbamna.

“Smith’s input has been absolutely critical to the successful redesign of CAM,” said Morven Knowles, Benefits & Communications Alumni Relations Manager at the University of Cambridge. “Their attention to detail, and commitment to pushing visual content forward, has been invaluable.”

CAM is published three times a year and is sent free to all University alumni. It is editorially independent, and is art directed and designed at Smith’s Cambridge studios.

Adrian Kimpton of Smith says: "CASE is one of the largest international associations of education institutions, serving more than 3400 universities, colleges, schools and related organisations in 61 countries – clearly this is a most prestigious and pleasing award to have. We are delighted for the client and the whole team who have worked so hard to produce a product of such obvious high quality."
