Caitlyn Jenner's Vanity Fair issue named cover of the Year

Caitlyn Jenner's Vanity Fair issue has been named Cover of the Year by the American Society of Magazine Editors.

''The cover contest judges had tough decisions to make this year,'' ASME chief executive Sid Holt said in a statement. ''Any time you have to choose between an already legendary Annie Leibovitz shoot on the cover of Vanity Fair, a Mark Seliger comedy special on GQ and one of the year's most talked-about news covers, 'Cosby: The Women’ on New York plus Serena Williams on both Sports Illustrated and New York that's a good time to be a magazine editor and an even better time to be a magazine reader.''

The winner is chosen by 100 of the industry’s top editors.
