THE VEGAS VOICE DOES IT AGAIN!

​NAMPA (North American Mature Publishers Association, Inc.) announced its top awards for publishing excellence at their 2019 National Convention at the Guest House in Graceland Resort in Memphis, Tennessee on October 14, 2019. NAMPA publications were independently judged by the prestigious University of Missouri’s School of Journalism - widely considered one of the top journalism schools in the country. 

​The Vegas Voice received 11 awards – including five “First Place Awards.” Awards included:


1. General Excellence (For the entire Vegas Voice family)
2. Special Sections (political editor Rana Goodman) for her work and efforts on guardianship reform in Nevada; it’s the 3rd consecutive year The Vegas Voice was recognized and applauded for our reform efforts.
3. Editorial/Opinion (publisher Dan Roberts);
4. Column Review (our Yvonne Cloutier’s Musical Moments columnist)
5. Senior Issues (our Jim Valkenburg’s Insurance Insights columnist)
6. Travel Column (our vacation editor Crystal Sarbacker’s Out & About articles)
7. Overall Design (our graphic editor Michael Roberts)
 
And to cap off the ceremony, Vegas Voice President Ray Sarbacker pretty much swept the graphics awards categories - winning the following:
 
8. Front Cover Illustration (for his 100th Vegas Voice front page)
9. Self- Promotion Award (for last year’s graphics on winning the NAMPA awards – guess he’s going to have to “top this” for these awards!)
10. Best single color ad (for his Vegas Vacationers Tuscany ad)
11. Best Banner (for his front page display which was thereafter copied by the Las Vegas Review Journal).
