The Big Issue is toasting an early festive treat after we scooped three top industry awards this week.
Our unforgettable front-page featuring a ghoulish Donald Trump as an alien from They Live – John Carpenter’s cult classic film from 1988 – was named Cover of the Year by the British Society of Magazine Editors (BSME) at its annual bash in London on Tuesday, before it collected the same award in a fiercely contested public vote at the PPA Scottish Magazine Awards.
We won Cover of the Year at the @bsmeinfo Awards for this masterpiece. Don’t have nightmares, y’all… #BSMEAwards pic.twitter.com/5Nt0rRjwtn

The Big Issue was also named Consumer Magazine of the Year at the Scottish Magazine Awards. The awards recognise magazines that are produced in Scotland – where The Big Issue, that is sold across Britain, has its editorial base.
On winning Cover of the Year, one of the team at @BigIssue uses his four word acceptance speech to say: “Journalism worth paying for.” #SMA17
