Cover countdown: July 2016

We’re halfway through our roundup of this year’s most popular magazine covers. Readers have been tweeting in their favourites from each month on the Stack Instagram, and yesterday, out of three June cover contenders, Boat magazine was the one that received the most amount of votes. They will now go up as a nominee for ‘People’s Cover of 2016’ — keep your eyes out for the grand voting round on 23 December. Our favourite response gets a one-year subscription to Stack, and this collage stood out from the crowd the most!

Don’t sweat it if you missed out — vote for today’s contenders and walk home with your own Stack subscription. If you already have one, win one for a friend for Christmas! Remember, the weirder, funnier, or more heartfelt your vote, the better your chances of winning.
