IFWTWA 2019 Excellence in Journalism Award Winner Announced

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - Dec. 3, 2019 - PRLog -- Each year the International Food Wine and Travel Writers Association (IFWTWA)  IFWTWA extends an invitation for regular members to submit their best published work for the Excellence in Journalism Award. Qualifying entries for the 2019 award must have appeared in a print or digital publication or as a blog post from November 1, 2018 to October 31, 2019. All entries were reviewed and evaluated by a professional editor and scored based on four elements: mechanics, tone, style and structure.

The 2019 Excellence in Journalism Award goes to Jacqui Gibson for her article "The Kings of Creole," which appeared in Heritage New Zealand magazine. "The Kings of Creole" tells the story of New Orleans chefs and food historians who worked to preserve the city's unique culinary heritage in the years following the catastrophic devastation of Hurricane Katrina. This inspiring and compelling story is one of remarkable determination and cultural resilience.

The many entries submitted made 2019 an extremely competitive year for the Excellence in Journalism Awards, exemplifying the professional journalistic standards that IFWTWA members consistently strive to meet.

Ms. Gibson received an award certificate, press and social media coverage, and a US$500 cash prize. See her article here https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3bf5b9a9e028aeda...
