There are 30 million travel blogs on the internet. This year, four of them were awarded a Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award. CaliforniaFallColor.com was one of the four.
The Lowell Thomas Awards are the highest honors in travel writing. They are presented annually by the Society of American Travel Writers Foundation which opens the competition to travel journalists from around the world.
Works in more than two dozen categories, including print, digital, audio, video and photography are honored.
Entries are judged by an accredited U.S. university, and winners are selected from among hundreds of submissions and announced at SATW’s annual convention, held this past month in Bogota, Columbia.
The awards are named for Lowell Thomas, an acclaimed journalist, prolific author, and modern-day world explorer who achieved numerous “firsts” during five decades in travel journalism. Thomas is primarily known as a broadcast journalist, but his career touched nearly all disciplines. His dedicated spirit of adventure and discovery epitomizes that of the inquiring travel journalist.
