The All-New Doug Wright Awards Website Is Here!

A full refresh of the Doug Wright Awards website was long overdue, but it’s here at last, and we couldn’t be happier.

From the above menu you can read more about the Doug Wright Awards organization, its origin, its staff, and the individual awards themselves. You also can view a complete list of past winners and nominees (not to mention each year’s awesome ceremony poster) and read bios of every Giant of the North inductee. Additionally, you’ll find information on contacting us, sponsoring us, and—most importantly—submitting your book to the annual awards competition.

At the bottom of each page you’ll find links to our social media feeds and a field to sign-up for our newsletter—a must if you want to be in the know about upcoming deadlines, events, and more. We’ve also retained every blog entry from the old site, dating back to 2005, now found under the News menu.

But a good website doesn’t need much of a guided tour. Have a look around for yourself. We’d love your feedback, or to know if you spot any errors, as we work out the inevitable new-website kinks in the coming weeks.

Finally, a special thanks to our branding overseer, John Montgomery, for all his work on building this new site. Thanks also to Joe Ollmann, Robb Mirsky, Ehab Arafeh, and Noah Van Sciver for providing some illustrations to liven things up, and to Joyce Byrne for giving the copy a final look.

Happy surfing.
