There are 23 categories in total, recognising the best writers across a range of sectors, along with new awards for 2022, such as Best Podcast, a Special Recognition Award and a Diversity and Inclusion Award.
Tim Pollard, BSME chair 2022, said: "Congratulations to all those shortlisted – having sat in on the judging sessions, I can guarantee you that the standard of entries to the BSME Talent Awards 2022 was extremely high, reflecting the quality, passion and innovation upon which Britain’s magazine sector thrives. It’s been another extraordinary year as editors and writers, designers and videographers, production staff and digital wizards emerge from the pandemic tougher, stronger and more inventive than ever. These awards provide a moment to reflect on our collective achievements through what has been a hard slog. Everyone at the BSME is looking forward to holding our first IRL awards for three years to toast the successes of our industry’s most creative minds."
Winners will be announced on Tuesday 28 June 2022 at a standing reception ceremony and party at 100 Wardour Street.
Shortlisted entries are listed in brand order.
