About OMag

Founded in 1946, Orlando magazine reflects the lifestyle and interests of an upscale, educated readership. And as “The City’s Magazine,” we’ve grown and changed alongside The City Beautiful. Throughout the years, the magazine’s mission remains unchanged: to offer readers compelling local content that is both entertaining and informative, and to provide information that will drive decision making. The arts, dining, travel, entertainment, style, people and trends—if it’s part of Orlando’s lifestyle, you’ll find it covered in Orlando magazine.
 

Orlando Wins Big

Orlando magazine won more 2011 Florida Magazine Association awards than any other magazine in the state. Competing in the consumer less-than-50,000 circulation category, Orlando won the following awards for content published between May 2010 and April 2011. All contest entries were judged by journalism industry professionals, including university J-school professors, located outside of Florida.
