One of our REALM committee members, Benjamin Lally, has created an interactive map of all of the REALM First Class winners from 2008-present. Repeat winners are indicated by their most recent year receiving the highest designation. The map is now interactive and some magazines have added their covers or links to their full magazines. Click on some of this year’s winners (the gold pins), to see examples of what makes for a REALM First Class magazine. Please follow the link to see more!
