Voyage Vixens Win Bronze SATW Lowell Thomas Award for Best Travel Blog

September 17, 2014 By VoyageVixens 1 Comment

SATW 2014 Lowell Thomas Best Travel Blog BronzeWe are thrilled to announce that at the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW) annual conference this week in Iceland, VoyageVixens.com won a Bronze Lowell Thomas Award in the Best Travel Blog category. It is truly an honor to be included among such talented writers and prestigious publications.

Happy 30th Anniversary to SATW and the SATW Foundation, and thank you to the judging panel from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill School of Journalism and Mass Communications.

What better a time than now to say thanks, most importantly, to each and every one of YOU who follow along on our journeys, who read our rants, who care about out reviews, who know that we share our journeys with you (the good, the bad, and the straight up f-ugly) in hopes that it inspires you to get out there and collect those passport stamps, face those fears, have those take-your-breath-away moments, and let life be the light.

Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism awards are named for Lowell Thomas, acclaimed broadcast journalist, prolific author and world explorer during five decades in journalism. This is the 30th annual competition sponsored by the Society of American Travel Writers Foundation. Winners of the awards, the most prestigious in the field of travel journalism, were announced Sept. 16 at the SATW convention, held in Iceland.

The competition drew 1,177 entries and was judged by members of the faculty at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill School of Journalism and Mass Communication. This year, the SATW Foundation presented 90 awards in 25 categories and nearly $20,000 in prize money to journalists. Since the first competition for work in 1984, the SATW Foundation has presented more than 2,100 awards and $420,000-plus in recognition of outstanding travel journalism.

In honoring VoyageVixens.com, the judges said: “In just a few moments of reading, my attention was captured and I found myself reading story after story and watching video after video. The honesty and seemingly raw video presentation make the two writers likable. The stories as well as the useful tips, recipes and other short anecdotes are worthy hours of leisurely reading, preferably by the Art and Beer palapa bar!”

Among other winners, Jill Schensul, senior writer for The Record of northern New Jersey, earned the title of Lowell Thomas Travel Journalist of the Year for a portfolio of her work in the past year. It is the third top title for Schensul, who over the years has won 29 Lowell Thomas awards for herself, and The Record travel section has taken 39 in total. National Geographic Traveler, Islands, Travel + Leisure and AFAR magazines are top media winners in 2014.

WHO ARE THE VIXENS?

Lanee Lee and Lindsay Taub of Voyage Vixens

Hi! We're Lanee and Lindsay. You may have gotten to this page because you're intrigued by the word "vixens" or maybe you found some of our porn online (#travelporn, that is!). Either way, we are fully aware we are not what you typically think of when you hear the word "vixen", i.e. boobalicious babe wearing skintight minidresses in 6-inch heels. In our book, you don't need DDs to be a VV. To us -- vixens are smart and sassy women (and men, why not?!) who take action, scared sh**less or not, to turn their dreams into realities. Now you know a little about us; we'd like to get to know you. Connect with us on twitter, instagram, google+, pinterest, youtube, Facebook, tumblr, and periscope! (yes, we're on them all...#sorrynotsorry)

Got a Story to Tell?

We want to hear it! We're now accepting guest blog posts. Send us your travel tale—be it hilarious, heartwarming or horrifying— to [email protected] Promise, you'll hear from us in less than 48 hours.
