The Best of Times magazine receives 22 awards at national convention!

The Best of Times, a free monthly magazine for mature adults in Northwest Louisiana , received twenty-two (22) national awards, in a wide variety of design and editorial excellence categories, at the 2020 North American Mature Publishers Association (NAMPA) convention which was held via ZOOM conferencing on October 6th and 7th.

NAMPA member publications were judged in various categories by an independent panel of faculty from the internationally respected University of Missouri School of Journalism, generally considered one of the top journalism schools in the world.

Editor Tina Calligas noted, “Putting together a quality publication takes interesting ideas, well-written articles, creative design, a dedicated staff, and supportive advertisers. These awards are a wonderful testament to the quality of our magazine and recognition of the hard work of our devoted writers, designers and contributors.”

“We are honored to have won so many awards and are especially proud to have received the highly coveted Best of Show in our division,” added publisher Gary Calligas.
