Spice Magazine has won the prestigious Publishers Australia Excellence Award Bell – ‘09 for Best Magazine Relaunch for 2009 at an award ceremony attended by more than 500 publishing executives at the newly opened Doltone House, Darling Island Wharf venue.

Spice Magazine editor, Gwen O’Toole, said it was an exciting time for Spice Magazine to be recognised for its relaunch from Main Event Magazine.

“We couldn’t be happier or more proud of how far the magazine has come since 2005. The readership has surged proving that the event industry is still very much alive and well,” she said.

“We’re very optimistic about the future of Spice Magazine.”

Spice Magazine is published by The Intermedia Group, which also won Best Business-to-Business Magazine for the second year in a row for Professional Beauty.

The Publishers Australia Excellence Awards Bell ‘09 acknowledges the talent expertise and outstanding achievement over the past 12 months for magazine publishers across Australia.
