I unfortunately missed the weekend’s Society of Professional Journalists conference in Richmond, so I wasn’t on hand when James Madison University racked up a few awards.
We compete in region 2; that’s Virginia, North Carolina, Washington, D.C., and Maryland.
Congrats to Jill Yaworksi of JMU who won third place in “non-fiction magaine writing” for a piece titled “Found in Translation.â€
Curio Magazine took second place for best student magazine in the region, also winning another second-place for its online counterpart.
Though I wasn’t able to go, JMU folks have told me I got 1st in “non-fiction magazine writing,” one of 12 given in the country. Apparently, first-place regional winners go on to the national round of judging in early April. Winners are announced mid-May.
Full results are posted here.
AWESOME!!! how cool are you, I am so psyched for you- can you send me the article that won- or I guess it would be more logical to post it (you know I’m behind the times in the whole blog world).
Very, very proud of you,
love,

Don’t be so modest! That was an awesome article! I remember reading it at the dinner table at your graduation dinner (then getting in trouble because I was reading at the table) – great job, Kel! :)
Love, Krisi
PS – Don’t change my comment!
Way to go sweetie!!! I’m so proud of you!
Love, Mama
Thanks all so much. You’re kind for taking the time to read …
From here, I guess we’ll just have to see what happens. I’ll keep you updated as the rest of the awards are announced!
