Milton Magazine made history this year, becoming the first publication from an independent school to win the 2022 Robert Sibley Magazine of the Year Award. The award, from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education’s Circle of Excellence competition, recognizes Milton’s 2021 spring and fall issues.

The judges said, “Milton Magazine is that rare mix of big ambition and high-level execution. The judges admired both the story choices and concepts, as well as the depth and dimension of the storytelling. We found the design smart and balanced throughout, filled with thoughtful illustration and photography choices that perfectly matched the tone of the narrative. Milton Magazine does what print magazines do best: Offer a thoughtful, intellectual, and engaging departure. The competition for this year’s Sibley Award was remarkably fierce, with exceptional quality and ambition evident across a wide range of institutions.”

The Sibley Award has existed for 79 years; all 78 of its previous honors have been given to publications from colleges and universities.
