WOW – I Just learned that I placed in 5 different categories in the first International Food, Wine and Travel Writers Association photography contest. Thanks IFWTWA.
Once again, for the fourth year in a row NATJA has recognized my work with awards for both writing and photography.
The 2020 NATJA competition was especially competitive since there was no longer a distinction between print and online categories. So this year, I was going head to head with writers and photographers from long established publications like the Washington Post, the New York Times and Conde Nest Traveler, which makes these awards all that much more meaningful to me.
Here are the links to this year’s winning entries:
