Photography
and Writing Honors 2024
Mike Lunsford has had an excellent 2024 as
both a writer and photographer. This past February, he earned six
“Arts-in-Craft”
awards from the Hoosier Outdoor Writer’s Association,
including four
first place ribbons in Outdoor and Conservation writing.
In April, Mike took first place honors at the
Covered Bridge Association’s “Abstract Show” with his “Monarch
and a
Twist of Aster.” In May, Lunsford was named the 2024 Reader’s
Choice winner
as “Best Columnist,” the 4th time he has been honored with
that
award. In August, Mike’s photo, “Morning Coffee” was named “Best of
Show” at
the annual River City Art Association show, while just a
month earlier
his work took home Grand Champion ribbons at both the Vigo County
and Parke
County Fairs in open class competitions. Mike was also honored
this year by
the Link Art Gallery’s Midwest Photography Show in Paris,
Illinois where
he took fourth place with his “Parke County Mosaic”; he also had an
Honorable
Mention award at the annual Wabash Valley Art Guild show. In
addition to
his usual writing work, Mike is now also being featured in Indiana
Connection magazine, and has already agreed to continue
his submissions
in 2025. He thanks all of these organizations for their support this
year!
