Indianapolis Monthly Earns Seven 2022 CRMA Award Nominations
Indianapolis Monthly received seven finalist selections in six categories in the City and Regional Magazine Association’s annual national awards competition. More than 100 judges from national publications from the likes of The Atlantic, National Geographic, New York Magazine, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, as well as journalism professors from the contest coordinator, Missouri School of Journalism, narrowed each category down to five finalists. The winners will be announced at an awards banquet, which closes out CRMA’s annual conference on Monday, May 23 in St. Louis.
“It’s a privilege to be nominated,” says Indianapolis Monthly contributing editor Adam Wren. “This particular story [“Keeping Up With the Joneses”] took a long time and a lot of elbow grease to report, but I think it illuminated something about a subculture in Indianapolis that people want to know and learn more about. I’m grateful to be able to contribute to Indianapolis Monthly, and the talented staff there across all departments are a joy to work with. They’re some of the best editors, writers, and magazine-makers in the business across the country.”
