Arizona Wildlife Views Magazine Garners Awards for Work Published in 2007

Arizona Wildlife Views magazine, the state’s magazine about wildlife and outdoor recreation, has received recognition for the quality of its writing and photography recently.

• Magazine associate editor Julie Hammonds' article "Ramsey Canyon Preserve" took a top honor from the Association for Conservation Information (ACI) this year, placing first in the "parks, historical, or cultural magazine article" category.
• Rory Aikens, a public information officer with the Game and Fish Department, garnered a second place win at ACI with his article on the ancient philosophy of fishing, "A Mountain Journey."
• The Western Publications Association selected staff photographer George Andrejko’s image of a regal horned lizard (above) as a finalist in its magazine photo competition, placing it among the top five images published in a magazine in the Western states in 2007.
• Hammonds is also among the winners for “excellence in craft” from the Outdoor Writers Association of America for work published in 2007. Her article “She’s Aiming High,” which examined women’s increasing participation in target shooting, won first place in the shooting sports category in that organization’s annual writing competition.

The magazine also recently received a quartet of honors from The Communicator Awards, which are sanctioned and judged by the International Academy of the Visual Arts. The magazine earned four Awards of Distinction, one for overall content and three for graphic design:
