MNSPJ congratulates all the winners recognized Tuesday night at the annual Page One Awards! Here’s a list of winners for excellence in magazine journalism.

2A. Best Profile Story [Magazine]	First Place	Julie	Kendrick	Minnesota Good Age	A recipe for change	Wonderfully written profile that delves into the complexity of the process that goes into what, on the surface, looks like one woman’s simple gesture of good will and humanity.
	Second Place	Pam	Louwagie	Star Tribune	Mondale on Demand
	Third Place	Amy	Carlson Gustafson	University of St. Thomas Magazine	Dream. Hope. Believe. Do.
2B. Best Feature Story [Magazine]	First Place	John	Rosengren	Mpls. St. Paul Magazine	The Last Days of Hemingway at Mayo Clinic	Beautiful and effective use of memories and details help capture Hemingway’s ultimate fate. While this feature story was extremely thorough, including very interesting information about research that may better explain why Hemingway ultimately committed suicide, the story maintains human interest throughout. A good read, indeed.
	Second Place	Abbie	Burgess	Minnesota Parent	Open to love
	Third Place	Jenna	Ross	Star Tribune	Lost Ships of Lake Superior
2C. Best Department [Magazine]	First Place	Jennifer	Koski	Rochester Magazine	Random Rochesterite	These columns are especially compelling because they prove that everyone has a story to tell. Questions to the interviewee are nicely tailored to their lives. All three entries were interesting reads.

	Third Place	Steve	Lange	Rochester Magazine	10 (or so) Questions
2D. Best Column [Magazine]	First Place	Jenna	Ross	Star Tribune	State Secrets	I appreciate the writer who can make me see the familiar in a new light, who helps me to understand that my home is not one place, but many. In that discovery, Ross gives her readers the gift of seeing, appreciating and understanding in a new way the place they call home.

	Third Place	Katie	Dohman	Minnesota Parent	World’s Okayest Mom
