The American Society of Magazine Editors just released its nominations for the year's best cover and
a New Yorker one made it in the category of "Best Concept Cover." It's not, however, the Obama and Michelle cover which drew so much controversy earlier this year. Instead, ASME gave the nod to the NYer's "Eustace Tillarobama" drawing.
In total, New York led the way with six noms, while David Remnick's pub garnered four. Wired had three, and T: The New York Times Style Magazine, Texas Monthly, Time and Vanity Fair each got two.
Winners will be announced on Monday, October 6, during the American Magazine Conference in San Francisco, California.
Full list of nominations after the jump.
