Launched in 2009, the Canadian Online Publishing Awards (COPAs) have become the premier awards program for editorial-based digital publishers in Canada.

The COPAs are produced by the publishers of Masthead, the must-read online journal for the Canadian magazine industry, and sponsored by leading suppliers in the digital publishing industry.

The Awards recognize Canada’s best editorial and design work in digital publications including websites, tablet editions, digital replicas and apps. The program is open to digital publications produced in conjunction with print magazines and newspapers, as well as digital-only magazines and blogs, and digital publications from broadcasters.

Past participants and winners have included:
The Globe and Mail
Maclean’s

… and hundreds more leading editorial brands.

Entries are reviewed by a prestigious panel of digital publishing experts from Canada and the U.S., and winners are selected in 15 categories across three divisions. See the entry rules for full details and winner benefits.

Winners are announced at a lively awards celebration every Fall in downtown Toronto, in what has become the digital publishing event of the year.
