Out nominated for its first ASME Award

We could resist the chance to pat ourselves on the back and announce that Out magazine has been nominated for its first American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) National Magazine Award in the Photo Portfolio category for the 2009 School Days-themed Out 100. We're up against National Geographic, New York, The New Yorker, and W. The winners will be announced on April 22, but in the meantime, go and have another look at the gorgeous Out 100 portfolio shot by Jason Bell. And for a full list of the nominees in all of the categories, head here.
