Tsawwassen writers Anne Vipond and William Kelly were recognized at the prestigious 2015 Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Competition for their guidebook, Best Anchorages of the Inside Passage, published by Ocean Cruise Guides.
This year's winners were announced Oct. 5 in Las Vegas during the annual convention of the Society of American Travel Writers
(SATW). Vipond and Kelly won an honourable mention in the guidebook category for their cruising guide to the British Columbia coast.
This illustrious competition, open to North American journalists, is sponsored by the SATW Foundation to recognize outstanding work in travel journalism. This year's competition drew 1,400 entries and was judged independently by faculty at the University of Missouri School of Journalism.
"To receive this award in the presence of some of the world's best travel writers and publishers was a great honour," said Anne Vipond, who attended the awards ceremony to receive her prize.
Best Anchorages of the Inside Passage covers boating destinations along B.C.'s south and central coast.
