BOSTON, Mass. – Once again, the staff of Lawn & Landscape was recognized for continued editorial and graphic excellence at the 11th Annual Turf & Ornamental Communicators Association meeting. Lawn & Landscape received the following awards in this year’s editorial and graphics competition:

Merit Award – Electronic publishing, web site design (Carolyn Antl, web design lead)
In addition, a new award was introduced this year to recognize the overall best in the writing and design categories, from among nearly 200 entries. This placed each writing entry and each design entry, regardless of category and type of piece, against each other. Lawn & Landscape was especially honored when its art director and graphic artist, Charlotte Turcotte, received the Best of Design award for her single-page editorial design mentioned above.
"While we recognize that awards such as these aren’t necessarily the best indicators of a magazine’s true value to its readership, we are very proud of Lawn & Landscape’s strong performance again in this year’s competition," noted Cindy Code, group publisher of the Lawn & Landscape Media Group. "Lawn & Landscape garnered more than two dozen editorial and graphics awards throughout the 1990s, including the prestigious Folio: magazine National Editorial Excellence Award, and we’re excited to start off a new decade by providing our readers with the same top quality product."
