Rugby Journal shortlisted for eight industry awards

The award-winning Rugby Journal features once again in the shortlists for both the British Society of Magazine Editors (BSME) and PPA Independent Publisher awards.

Sporting Eric’s multi-award-winning rugby brand, Rugby Journal – which includes the print journal, website and event – is again up for the top industry gongs having been shortlisted for four awards in both the BSME Awards and the PPA Independent Publisher Awards. The nominations include nods for best consumer magazine, best editor, best creative director and also best campaign for the Rugby Journal collaboration with Atout France during the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

“The Rugby Journal brand has always been a true showcase of Sporting Eric’s creativity, strategy and passion for rugby,” explains Simon Campbell, creative director, Sporting Eric. “Telling great rugby stories has always been our USP and these nominations reflect the fact we must be doing a pretty good job of it.

“We’re particularly pleased with the nomination for our work with Atout France because it was a labour of love that truly delivered with more than 600,000 people visiting therugbyjournal.com during the World Cup.”

Both sets of awards are announced in November. To order the new print edition of Rugby Journal, visit therugbyjournal.com/subscribe
