Column

Gold

Wyoming Wildlife, “Living Space” by Amy Bulger

This works. This is a column. The writer understands her audience perfectly and injects a personal touch to each column.

 Silver

Adirondack Life, “Short Carries” by Annie Stoltie

I appreciate that the writer is able to articulate what is powerful about home, and as a result, what makes a regional magazine an important endeavour.

Mountain Home, “Who is That?, Pay It Backward, Let Me Outa This Joint” by Maggie Barnes

This columnist has a real talent for dialogue. It brings her musings to life and makes each one feel like something a friend is writing.

Bronze

Arizona Highways, “Editor’s Letter” by Robert Stieve

Award of Merit

Missouri Life, “The Back Story” by Greg Wood
