The award-winning SPARK was recognized in the category of Best Digital Edition Publication – Academic.

The COPA has become the tip of the spear for the digital publishing industry in Canada by showcasing and helping Canadian content creators move the needle forward for their brands on the global stage. The COPA was started in 2009 as an industry showcase of the Best Digital Content creators in the magazine and newspaper industries.

The COPA nomination entries are reviewed by a 'who’s who’ of the digital publishing industry in Canada. The panel has more than 90 judges and is a collection of content, creative, digital, web, tech marketing, media and publishing experts.

The award is a special recognition of SPARK Issue #4, which shines the spotlight on three interdisciplinary initiatives from Humber’s Visual and Digital Arts, Baking and Pastry Arts, and Fashion Management programs.

Anju Kakkar, IMBB™, Managing Editor of Humber Press, and the team accepted the award at the COPA award ceremony held on February 9, 2023; the team was delighted to be joined by Dianna Dinevski, PhD. (abd), associate dean of Research and Development.
