Here you can find the Call for Entries for the 15th ICMA Award for Custom Media.
15. ICMA – new features
At the 15th ICMA we are focussing on continuity
We have not made any changes to the categories. Sustainability is at the top of the list of categories because it is a particularly topical subject. This is immediately followed by AI. We are excited to see which creative AI applications will be submitted.
In addition to the classic categories for B2B and B2C print magazines and employee media, we set up categories for films and animated films some time ago. There are also categories for event media and campaigns. It’s best to take a look at the examples from last year. They can be found under ‘14th ICMA – Selection of award-winning projects’.
New: ICMA Impact
If there is proof of an impact for a submission, for example positive market research results, a reader survey or an increase in reach, then please mention this impact in the entry form. These results will be taken into account in the evaluation.
The award winners are clearly presented on the web
For the 14th ICMA, we have already clearly organised the award winners according to three criteria: Category, Submitter and Awards.
Jury statement for each award-winning work
The jury provides a statement for each award winner. We also briefly describe the winning project.
Statistics with agency ranking
The ICMA has always included statistics on the work submitted and the participating countries. New at the 14th ICMA are the statistics of the award winners. There is a ranking for 10 years, 5 years and the current ranking. The ICMA is a worldwide competition and award winners can use their results to promote their own business. We limit the ranking to the top 10 to 15, as this is a very good way for agencies or design offices to advertise themselves.

Agentur: TAOS – the art of Storytelling (GmbH)
Kunde: Baden-Württembergischer Handwerkstag
ICMA Award: Gold
Aufgabe: aus dem Jahresbericht des „Handwerktag BadenWürttemberg“ sollte ein hochwertiges Zeitschriftenkonzept entwickelt werden. Dabei sollten alle wichtigen Verbandsthemen und Protagonisten einen Platz finden. Umsetzung mit optischer Opulenz, relevanten Themen und meinungsstarken Positionen.
Jury-Statement:
Titelseite: Sie ist überraschend leer, denn es steht nur eine Person da. Technisch kühle Anmutung, aber doch emotional aufgeladenes Cover.
Innenteil: Der Start des Hefts mit den doppelseitigen Fotos zeigt die Atmosphäre bei der Handwerks-Arbeit. Die Fotografien wirken authentisch und zeigen auch das Arbeitsumfeld im Handwerk.
Typografie und Seitenlayout sind zurückhaltend. Der Leseablauf wird nicht durch übertriebene Gags gestört. Die großen Bilder haben eine starke Wirkung und inhaltliche Relevanz.
Ein besonderes Design-Highlight ist, dass das Orange des Logos auf Innenseiten als Sonderfarbe vorkommt.
Insgesamt: Konzept, Fotografie, Layout – alles auf höchstem Niveau.


Agentur: CMR cross media redaktion GmbH
Kunde: Bayern Tourimus
ICMA Award: Silver
Ein hochwertiges B2B-Magazin erfordert die gleiche Aufmerksamkeit wie ein Kundenmagazin, um Leser zu unterhalten, inspirieren und informieren, besonders bei der prägnanten Präsentation komplexer Inhalte. Für Bayern Tourismus haben wir dies erfolgreich umgesetzt:
Unter der Vorgabe “Involvieren, Professionalisieren, Inspirieren” entwickelten wir das B2B-Magazin “BAYTM”, das sich halbjährlich an die bayerische Tourismuswirtschaft richtet. In sechs Ausgaben, mit der siebten in Arbeit, erlangte es schnell hohe Akzeptanz.
Unsere langjährige Design- und Magazinerfahrung zeigt, dass starke Fotografie, kreative Gestaltung und klare Leserführung entscheidend sind. Wir nutzen doppelseitige Fotostrecken und Faktenboxen für den Einstieg, setzen auf große Bilder als Einstieg in Themen und verwenden verschiedene grafische Elemente zur Leserlenkung.
Für komplexe Inhalte und Zahlen bieten wir kreative, visuell ansprechende Lösungen, die Spaß machen und leicht verständlich sind.
Jury-Statement
Titelseite: Das Logo mit dem Weißraum bildet ein starkes Alleinstellungsmerkmal. Gute Kombination von Bild und Überschrift auf dem Cover.
Innenteil: Vielfältiges Layout mit sehr guten Eyecatchern. Insgesamt überraschend erfrischende Gestaltung. Auf der ganzen Linie stark, komplexe Sachverhalte werden kreativ gelungen umgesetzt.


Agentur: Kammann Rossi GmbH
Kunde: GTAI German Trade & Invest
ICMA Award: Silver
Markets International, das Magazin von Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI), wird im Auftrag des Bundeswirtschaftsministeriums herausgegeben. Mit rund 50 weltweiten Korrespondenten spiegelt das Magazin das einzigartige Netzwerk der GTAI wider.
GTAI ist die Anlaufstelle für den exportorientierten Mittelstand in Deutschland und wirbt im Ausland für die Standortvorteile Deutschlands. Die Wirtschaftsanalysten der GTAI berichten über 120 Länder, bieten Unternehmen Wissensgrundlagen für Auslandsgeschäfte.
Leserumfragen zeigen, dass 73 % das Magazin als modern, 63 % als qualitativ hochwertig und 36 % als dynamisch empfinden. Nur 5 % empfinden das Magazin als werblich, und 0 % finden es altbacken. 86 % der Leserinnen und Leser geben dem Themenmix Bestnoten, 77 % lernen über Markets International die GTAI-Services näher kennen und nutzen sie, 51 % halten die Schwerpunktthemen für sehr wichtig.
Jury-Statement:
Markets International hebt sich durch nutzwertige und überraschende Themen hervor. Die internationalen Autorinnen und Autoren schaffen die Balance zwischen harten Nutzwertstorys und Unterhaltung.
Ein weiteres Highlight ist immer wieder die Covergestaltung, bei der coole Illustrationen Themen unverwechselbar visualisieren.
Es ist sehr gut, dass die Agentur Einblick in Leserumfragen gibt. Dadurch kann die Jury den Nutzwert des Magazins viel besser beurteilen.


Agentur: METRO AG
Kunde: METRO AG
ICMA Award: Silver
Ziele und Strategien: METRO verfolgt ambitionierte Wachstumsziele. MPULSE dient dazu, diese Ziele zu illustrieren und METRO als starken Partner der Gastronomie zu positionieren. Trotz Fokus auf Profikunden bleibt die Ansprache sekundärer Zielgruppen wie Journalisten, Investoren und Corporate-Kollegen erhalten.
Das Magazin wurde inhaltlich und visuell überarbeitet, um Gastronomen Mehrwert und visuelle Attraktivität zu bieten. Plakative Cover, kompakte Anreißer und kräftige Farben erregen Aufmerksamkeit. MPULSE portraitiert Persönlichkeiten, bietet Gourmetküchen-Einblicke und nützliche Tipps von Profis.
Seit 2023 erscheint es quartalsweise mit 20.000 Exemplaren, verteilt durch Kundenmanager an 15.000 Kunden in Deutschland. Die Website mpulse.de verzeichnete im November und Dezember 2023 etwa 1.500 Klicks und rund 115.000 Impressions. Die Klicks pro Impression stiegen im Januar deutlich.
MPULSE nutzt auch Onlineplattformen und Social Media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter) zur Verbreitung. Bezahlte Werbung unterstützt die Vermarktung und Traffic-Generierung.
Jury-Statement:
MPULSE konzentriert sich auf der Titelseite auf ein Thema und im Innern folgt dann die ausführliche Coverstory.
Das Gesamt-Konzept zeichnet sich durch eine mutige, etwas lautere Gestaltung aus. Statt langer Artikel werden oft alternative Storyformen eingesetzt. Dabei wird das Thema in verschiedene Aspekte gegliedert und aufgelockert präsentiert.
Insgesamt: Das Layout ist stark aufgelockert, wobei die Lesbarkeit trotzdem sehr gut ist. Fotografien, Illustrationen und Infografiken werden sehr gut kombiniert. MPULSE: Ein B2B-Magazin auf der Höhe der Zeit.


Agentur: TAOS – the art of Storytelling (GmbH)
Kunde: PR-Agentur White Communications
ICMA Award: Bronze
Alle fünf Jahre produziert die PR-Agentur „White Communications“ zum Jubliäum ein Magazin.
Aufgabe für 2022: Ein großes Sonderformat, opulent aufgemacht, das Status Quo, hervorragende Projekte sowie Diskussionsgrundlagen für aktuelle Branchentrends vereinen sollte.
2022 feierte die Agentur ihr 30-jähriges Bestehen – im Konzept „30 Ideen für den Luxus von Morgen“ finden sich all das wertig kuratiert und alle Themen individuell umgesetzt.
Eine Zeitschrift zum feiern, aber auch Unternehmensdarstellung und Adquise-Instrument. Auflage: 5000 Exemplare
Jury-Statement
Konzept: 30 Ideen für den Luxus von morgen zu präsentieren ist eine sehr gute konzeptionelle Idee. Die Zahlen von 1 bis 30 werden als große gestalterische Elemente im gesamten Heft eingesetzt.
Format: Es ist ein etwas schmaler geschnittenes Hochformat, das bereits auf dem Cover Dynamik ausstrahlt.
Typo und Layout: Sind schwere schwarze Balken und fette Rahmen “in”? Nein. Darum hebt sich dieses Magazin ab von allen anderen Publikationen, die diese Elemente nicht benutzen. Die Schrift Agrandir ist eine gute Wahl, denn sie unterstützt das Gesamt-Konzept.

We show here excellent works from previous ICMA Awards. You can use this as a guide when planning your own submissions. The jury reserves the right to place work in a different category. The aim is to find the best category for each work. If you are unsure, you can also simply contact us: info@icma-award.com.
