The shortlists for the 2025 British Society of Magazine Editors Awards are out — and BN Magazine has been recognised in not one, but two categories!
✨ Andrew Welch has been shortlisted for Editor of the Year (Independent Magazines)
✨ Mark Bass has been shortlisted for Cover of the Year
With other nominees including National Geographic, Saga Magazine, and The National Trust, this places BN Magazine among some truly distinguished company.
BN Magazine is the quarterly publication of British Naturism, the UK’s leading organisation for Naturists and Naturist places. Founded in 1964, British Naturism has published the magazine continuously since that time. With a print distribution of 15,000 and a digital edition available for download, it reaches every member and affiliated club across the UK.
While Andrew and Mark are the named nominees, it’s clear that the energy and creativity of the younger members of TheNakedTruth team shine through in the imagery and storytelling that have earned this recognition. Their work as ambassadors is making a real impact.
This shortlisting highlights the growing recognition of our efforts to promote equality, body confidence, and mental health. Naturism is about far more than taking your clothes off — it’s about respect.
Respect for ourselves, for others, and for the freedom to choose how we live and express ourselves, within a culture of mutual acceptance.
These are values sought across all communities, and this is how Naturism continues to gain attention and respect across society.
