BEACON wins BIG with national awards
Nov 22, 2023 11:08AM ● By Cloie Sandlin
Christmas came early this year as the BEACON’s dedicated staff proudly brought home awards from the 2023 North American Mature Publishers Association (NAMPA) national convention.
In addition to learning from senior publications across the country, a highlight of this annual convention is the awards banquet, where publications big and small vie for top honors.
Entries are independently judged by a discerning panel at the Missouri School of Journalism, and the winners are presented with awards.
Our publications stood out for their exceptional written content, editing, design, photography and advertising. Here’s a list of accolades we brought home from this year’s competition:
Column Review: 1st Place - Talking Digital by Adam Cochran
Feature Layout: 1st Place - Hobby Sweet as Honey (April 2023) Design by ML Madsen, Story by Lisa Lowdermilk
How-To Feature: 2nd Place - Give Your Garden a Boost with Compost Tea (August 2022) by Bryan Reed
General Excellence: 3rd Place - BEACON Senior News, Colorado
Website: 2nd Place - BeaconSeniorNews.com

Above all, the BEACON would not be what it is today if it weren’t for you, our loyal readers. Thank you for reading the BEACON.
