Gold
Downhome, “I Dare Say” by Janice Stuckless
I love that these pieces are short and simple, but leave an impact. These are thoughtful and should be emulated.
Silver
Adirondack Life, “Short Carries” by Annie Stoltie
The writing is personal and appeals to the reader’s emotions.
Bronze
Arizona Highways, “Editor’s Letter” by Robert Stieve
I like how these comments reflect on the history of the magazine, something that is very important for readers of this title.

Cottage Life, “Zim Weighs In” by David Zimmer
Entertaining as hell, and doubtless a great fit with the magazine’s readers.

Texas Highways, “Editor’s Note” by Emily Stone
