Awards Season, 2010…. Last Friday the Sun Valley Guide (of which I’m editor) won its first ever MAGGIE award. In the three years we’ve entered the competition, hosted by the Western Publishing Association (wpa-online.org), we’ve been shortlisted three times, but this is our first win. We were named the best 3-time annual magazine in the whole western US. Pretty cool! Here’s a news story with more details on the win: http://www.mtexpress.com/index2.php?ID=2005136521
In other news … Last night the winners of the Idaho Press Club were announced, the Sun Valley Guide pretty much swept the board once again! We took first place in every category we entered, including General Excellence. I also got two first places for my articles, as well as a 2nd place for newspaper writing and a 2nd place for the new special section I launched, Valley Woman.
