So it looks like ascent magazine is going out with a bang! Earlier this week, the esteemed Utne Reader announced their contenders for the 2009 Independent Press Awards… and ascent has been nominated for Best Spiritual Coverage! The competition is tight, as we’re up against stellar spiritual publications such as Geez, Resurgence and Tricycle. May the best magazine emerge victorious!

ascent is actually no stranger to the Utne awards (which honour and acknowledge the best of the independent media throughout North America), having won for Best Spiritual Coverage in 2003 and 2005. The 2009 winners will be announced in May and the whole list will be published in the July-August issue of Utne. Even though ascent no longer exists as a print publication, we will happily accept a posthumous award!
