Gold

Arizona Highways, “The Journal” by Robert Stieve, Kelly Vaughn, Noah Austin, Jeff Kida, Barbara Glynn Denney, and Keith Whitney

What a wonderful mix of history and photographs this package contains! Stories are documented with respect and love while photographs are taken by dedicated photographers going through extraordinary lengths to capture a micro-moment. They witness a place – a plant, an animal, a setting, that perhaps even the State’s residents might never have the opportunity to see. These photos are extraordinary.

Silver

Arkansas Life, “First Taste “ by Bonnie Bauman, Katie Bridges, Arshia Khan, Kelley Lane, and Staci Miller Franklin

A wonderful and diverse package. Solid work from writers, photographers, and editors.

Award of Merit

Louisiana Life, “Louisiana Made” by Jeffery Roedel, Danley Romero, Melanie Warner Spencer, and Sarah George
