Gold

Cottage Life, “Winter 2021” by Paul Zizka, Bradley Reinhardt, and Michelle Kelly

Dynamic and original cover. Unconventional for a magazine about cottage life–feels fresh.

Silver

Texas Highways, “The Cowboy Issue” by Dave Shafer, Mark Mahorsky, Ashley Burch, Chris Linnen, Brandon Jakobeit, Emily Stone, Michael Hoinski, Matt Joyce, Kimya Kavehkar, and Julia Jones

Timeless approach of black and white nicely juxtaposed with the unexpected young woman as cowboy.

Bronze

Arizona Highways, “Park Yourself” by Keith Whitney, Jeff Kida, and Robert Stieve

Being out in nature is such a calling right now. We want space. We want to have the freedom to roam and to experience thrills that are quiet and soulful. I had a surge of emotional impact and intrigue in the linear storytelling of the visuals.

Award of Merit

New Mexico Magazine, “Makers” by Stefan Wachs and John McCauley

Visually arresting with a clear connection to the tone and authenticity of the content. Incredibly memorable and hard to shake!
