Judges singled out Florida Weekly for five Gold awards in Display Advertising, Real Estate, Marketing Material, Dining and Entertainment and Best Cover Design, along with four Silver awards, four Bronze and the prestigious Grand Prize for newspapers with circulation below 50,000. “Winning all of these awards and the grand prize in our division exemplifies the dedication and hard work of our designers,” said Florida Weekly Creative Director Jim Dickerson. “Week after week our team strives to give readers and clients the best possible product in the market. We don’t do it to win awards but it’s especially gratifying to be recognized by your peers” Florida Weekly’s award-winning design team includes Chris Andruskiewicz, Eric Raddatz, Hannah Arnonne, Linda Iskra and Natalie Zellers. The contest was open to all daily and weekly newspapers in Florida. Florida Weekly is locally owned and publishes six newspapers on Florida’s east and west coasts with a combined readership of more than 200,000. A seventh newspaper opens in the Boca Raton/Delray Beach market in November.
