The Mawbima and Ceylon Today Newspapers celebrated their third anniversary on Tuesday, November 18.

The Mawbima and Ceylon Today Newspapers were launched by Ceylon Newspapers Private Limited in 2011. In the past three years, they have not only became popular among both Sinhala and English readers but have also won an array of accolades.

Within a mere three years, the Mawbima Newspaper won the gold medal for the Best New Entrant of the Year at the SLIM Brand Excellence Award 2013, organised by the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing.

In the 12 year history of this Awards Ceremony, this was the first time that a newspaper won the award for the Best New Entrant of the Year. Mawbima also went down in the annals of history, when its innovative Lion Flag creation clinched a Cannes Lion Award, at the prestigious Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity held in France.
