Publishers submitted more than 600 entries, representing the best writing, photography and illustration that appeared in their publications last year. Entries were then narrowed down to a set of finalists by 55 esteemed professionals in the food world including the Beekman Boys, Chef Virginia Willis, Melissa Hamilton & Christopher Hirsheimer of Canal House, and Barry Estabrook among others. Meet all of this year’s judges here.
The public voted online for the Readers’ Choice winners while an independent panel of judges decided Critics’ Choice winners. In results announced yesterday, 25 publishers from across the US and Canada took home top honors in 6 categories: Best Feature, Best Imagery, Best Recipes, Best Story, Best Digital, and Best Issue.
The EDDY Award for Best Special Issue went to Edible New Orleans for its Makin’ Groceries Issue. Judging the category was Lisa McManus, an executive editor at Cook’s Illustrated and Cook’s Country magazines: “This cover image is both enticing and forbidding; it's stark and dramatic. It reminds me of paintings by Caravaggio…On the inside, unlike some of the competitors, this issue's theme of "Makin' Groceries" was very consistently carried out throughout the issue, and it was done in a fresh and authentic way… Fantastic job.”
