The Verge wins its first ASME Award

Illustration by Micha Huigen

The American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) gave The Verge an award for best digital illustration and best photography. The 10th anniversary of The Verge was celebrated with a series of stories looking back at the last 10 years and ahead to the future. One of those stories, What The Verge Covered in Our First 120,000 Stories, by Jacob Kastrenakes, received an additional nomination.

The illustration that accompanied Verge 10 was incredible, and we couldn't be happier with the award.

You can find the full image of the illustration here, as well as an interview with the illustrator.
