Alberta Story

2023-2024

Articles in this category must showcase a distinctly Alberta subject, flavour and flair. This is subject to broad interpretation but examples would be non-fiction work about Alberta’s cultural and economic scene; stories about interesting Albertans; or stories told from a distinctly Albertan perspective.

Gold Award

Who Wants Albertans to Gamble More? is a significant story about our province’s addiction to gambling revenues. It is written so that readers will forget about the words on the page and simply be absorbed in the story. Its excellent quotes and telling details add to a powerfully constructed argument.

Silver Award

This piece works well on several levels. It’s well reported, and the dual-format presentation is excellent. The Hollowing of the Calgary Herald is engagingly written, intelligent, entertaining and well paced.
