The American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) does a Best Magazine Covers Reader's Choice Award every year. Each week is a new category and participants "like" their favorite covers on Facebook. Then the winners of each category compete for best magazine cover of the year.

I reviewed by Top 3 Choices for Lifestyle Magazine Cover of the Year!
#3 Choice: Departures Magazine. The jewels in the photograph caught the light and sparkled ensuring to catch my attention. The magazine is a departure (I'm sorry I had to- it was right there waiting for me...) from the norm in magazine covers making it a contender for magazine cover of the year.

#2 Choice: The New York Times Magazine. This cover features a photo of a face that is blurred to the point where it is unrecognizable. The tagline is "The Price of a Stolen Childhood." The frosted picture is haunting and causes the reader to look twice.

#1 Choice: Architectural Digest with Ralph Lauren cover is my vote for best Lifestyle Cover! Anytime a non-fashion magazine features a fashion icon it catches my attention. Putting Ralph Lauren on the cover made me wonder about the content of the article and therefore made me want to read the magazine-- the purpose of any great cover!
