- One of Joeff Davis' photos nominated for a 2012 AAN award: The Georgia Bulldogs beat the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 31-17 in front of 55,000 crazed fans at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Despite the runaway score the Georgia Tech cheerleaders were still going strong late into the 4th quarter.
Huzzahs are in order! Creative Loafing Atlanta, the very publication that's sullying your screen, be it on a desktop or mobile device, has been nominated for two Association of Alternative Newsmedia awards.
Former (shed a tear) CL culture writer/cat whisperer Wyatt Williams has been nominated in the arts feature (circulation 50,000 and over) for "Life in the belle jar," his profile of The Help author Kathryn Stockett. CL shutterbugs Joeff Davis, Dustin Chambers, James Camp, and Evey Wilson are nominated for best photography (circulation 50,000 and over). It's Davis' 3,425 nomination. (Actually, it's the third year in a row Joeff's been recognized for his work at CL, winning in 2010, and garnering an honorable mention in 2011.)
CL's sister papers also scored nominations and are even competing in several categories. The Washington City Paper snagged nods in arts criticism, investigative reporting, individual blog (the excellent-even-if-you-don't-live-in-DC "Housing Complex"), and innovation/format buster. The Chicago Reader, which is helmed by former CL editor in chief Mara Shalhoup, earned nominations for arts criticism, feature story, food writing, investigative reporting, and special section.
Winners will be announced at the AAN annual convention in Detroit on Friday, June 7.
In the meantime, behold a gallery of CL's nominated photography.
