The Nation has won a design award for its front-page layout from the prestigious World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-Ifra).The newspaper was given the Bronze Award in the Best in Design category of the 9th Annual Asia Media Awards 2010 during the Publish Asia 2010 gala dinner in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.
Design editor Leroy A Sylk represented The Nation in accepting the award.
The front page that won the design award is from the November 12, 2009, issue. The entire page involves a row between Thailand and Cambodia after fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra was appointed Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's economic adviser. The page layout features a stylish headline "Rejected" and a large graphic showing the Cambodian government's letter turning down Thailand's request for Thaksin's extradition.

"The number of entries competing this year for the awards and the outstanding quality of some winning entries demonstrates the vibrant Asian newspaper industry is eager to achieve publishing excellence in the fields of printing quality, design, info-graphics and photography," the organisation said in a press release.
