LOS ANGELES — Nineteen magazines took home awards at the 18th annual City and Regional Magazine Awards competition in Philadelphia at City and Regional Magazine Association’s Annual Conference. Judges from the University of Missouri-Columbia and journalism professionals from around the country selected 63 winning entries in 21 categories from the 794 submissions.
