Maisonneuve is pleased to report that we took home one gold and one silver at the National Magazine Awards on Friday in Toronto. Dave Bidini won Best Columnist for "Travels in Narnia" (Issue 31 - Spring 2009), "Mongolian Invasions" (Issue 32 - Summer 2009) and "The Great Comeback" (Issue 33 - Fall 2009). Art director Anna Minzhulina won silver in Art Direction for an entire issue for Issue 34 - Winter 2009.
