PRESS RELEASE: Last night, the who’s who of the South African magazine industry descended on the Sandton Convention Centre to celebrate the exceptional talent of local writers, designers and publishers across the consumer, customer and business-to-business sectors. Says PICA 201l Chairperson Danielle Weakley: “We are thrilled that both well-known names and bylines were awarded kudos, along with new up and coming young talents. Congratulations to all the winners – competition was stiff this year as well had a 25% increase on submissions and winners had to work really hard to be ahead of the pack.”
