The Magazine Publishers of America will announce the winners of the their 2008 Cover Awards this Monday, which is sort of bittersweet news for an industry which is going down the shitter at an alarming rate.

Pictures of the three candidates up for 2008 Cover of the Year, after the jump:

Here's hoping for the Spitzer cover from New York Magazine, but we would have voted for the Obama fist-bump cover from The New Yorker had it been offered.
