IPC Media and News International each took away three prizes at the British Society of Magazine Editors awards last night, with both also being highly commended in an additional category each. All three of IPC Media's awards fell within the editors of the year categories, with Ali Hall of Look taking the prize for Women's magazines (weekly or fortnightly), Jules Barton-Breck of Essentials the winner in the women's magazine (monthly or less frequent) and Tony Chambers, editor of Wallpaper taking the award for the lifestyle magazines category.
