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!
