GWA: The Association for Garden Communicators is pleased to continue its latest evolution of the Garden Media Awards Program using an online entry and judging process. This is the only national online media awards contest for the Gardening Communicators Industry. GWA will be awarding the prestigious GWA Garden Media Awards to the top professional communicators in the lawn & garden genre. All works primarily focused on gardening topics are eligible. All individuals, producers and publishers may enter. GWA membership is not required; members receive a discounted entry rate.
For more than 20 years, GWA has conducted an annual awards program. Originally the Quill & Trowel Awards, the program expanded into the current GWA Garden Media Awards. Throughout its development, the GWA awards program has maintained its primary goal of providing public recognition for excellence in gardening-related communications in all media.
New for 2016, GWA has expanded writing categories, distinguishing between publications above and below 30,000 circulation, as well as book categories recognizing books above and below a 120 page count.
