PMM CONTRIBUTORS WIN JOURNALISM AWARDS
It's not often that we get to toot our own horn, but a recent announcement from Boating Writers International (BWI) presents the perfect opportunity.
PMM Electronics Editor Peter Swanson and contributing writer Chris Caswell took top prizes in BWI's 17th Annual Writing Contest, the results of which were announced at the Miami International Boat Show in February.
Chris won first place in the Boat Test category for his feature on the Out Islander 64, "Getting It Write," which appeared in our October 2009 issue. Peter was awarded first prize for two articles: "Manna from Heaven" (PMM July/Aug. '09) in the Electronics category and "Radar Love" (PMM May/June '09) in the Gear, Electronics, and Product Tests category.
"We're thrilled that Chris and Peter were recognized by juries of their peers for their hard work and talent," said PMM Editor-In-Chief John Wooldridge. "Our collective efforts continue to produce the finest magazine for cruising-under-power readers, and these authors have played a major role in the PMM tradition of excellence in journalism that will grow in the years to come."
"There is no doubt that these awards further support PMM's commitment to deliver the best bluewater and coastal cruising-under-power editorial to our well-focused reader community," added Rob Dorfmeyer, PMM's publisher and general manager.
Congratulations, Peter and Chris, from all of us at PMM.
