HONOLULU Magazine is a Four-Time Finalist in the 2016 National City and Regional Magazine Awards

You like us—you really like us!

We at HONOLULU Magazine don’t normally write about ourselves, but we thought we’d make an exception for this news: We’ve received four finalist nominations for the 2016 Awards of the City & Regional Magazine Association! The CRMA is the national industry association for magazines like us, which makes this the equivalent of an Oscar nomination. We received nods in three categories, and we’re up against huge, national-level magazines like Texas Monthly and Los Angeles Magazine, so we’re proud to have been named. Here’s what got nominated, with links, in case you didn’t see these stories the first time around:
