Citizen wins awards

Posted on July 9, 2009 by Staff

Carrboro Citizen art director Liz Holm has been named the recipient of seven awards in the 2009 North Carolina Press Association Best Ad Contest.

Holm received first-place awards for Best Full-color Restaurant/Entertainment Ad (for Glasshalfull), Best Full-color Institutional Ad (Girls Rock NC) and Best Special Section (The Carrboro Citizen Garden Guide).

She won second place for Best Full-color Real Estate Ad (April Grossman), Best Full-color Institutional Ad (Carrboro Growing Healthy Kids Project) and Best Shared Page (Quaff Local). And she was given a third-place award for Best Shared Page (Shop Local).

“We’re just really proud of Liz,” said Citizen publisher Robert Dickson, “she’s a tremendous asset to this paper.

“I believe the appearance of our paper is second to none, and it’s gratifying to see that acknowledged. I also feel the quality of her work is of real value to our advertisers.”

In February, The Citizen was presented with six North Carolina Press Association awards for enterprise and feature writing, general news photography, the editorial page and for the overall excellence of its website.

Founded in 2007 and accepted into the press association a year later, this was the first year the newspaper was eligible to enter these contests. — Staff reports

    Yahoo, Liz! I assume they’re giving you a week off to rest on your laurels?
