IPEd invites nominations for the 2025 Janet Mackenzie Medal (the Mackenzie) from 2 September to 4 November 2024. The Notice of Intention to nominate must be sent to IPEd via email by COB 14 October 2024.
The Mackenzie is IPEd’s most prestigious award. It recognises the outstanding achievements and contributions of a current or past IPEd professional member to the editing profession, particularly in lifting standards and/or giving exemplary service to IPEd.
The award honours Janet Mackenzie DE (1947–2018). Janet was an Honorary Life Member and founding member of Editors Victoria (1970) and served IPEd in many capacities over many years.
The recipient of the Mackenzie receives a medal, an electronic rendering of the medal and Honorary Life Membership (if they are not already an HLM).
Nominations will be accepted until 4 November 2024. The Mackenzie will be awarded during the IPEd conference in 2025.
Full details on eligibility, judging criteria, how to nominate and how to submit the nomination are available in the 2025 Nomination Instructions:
