Thank you to all the attendees of the 60th annual Excellence in Journalism workshop and banquet. We hope you not only learned something but also had lots of fun.
Before I post the winners of the Excellence in Journalism Competition, I wanted to congratulate a winner who was accidentally left unrecognized by our group.
J.R. Duren of The Villages Daily Sun, who attended the banquet with his wife, won second place in the Community News Category, Classes A – C with his entries, “Getting into the Spirit,” “Blessings of Adoption” and “April Fools.” Thank you, J.R., for your hard work, and we apologize for the omission.
For all the winners, see below. We can also order extra plaques and certificates for those interested, but please give us time to process and respond to the award winners seeking judges’ comments.
We’ll be creating another newsletter and work on providing more workshops/seminars for our members, so watch for our emails!
