Cowboy Miner Productions was presented with the Academy of Western Artists' Will Rogers Medallion Award for Outstanding Merit/Excellence in Printing and Publication for the year 2004 and 2005. We are pleased to present Cowboy Miner Productions with the Academy of Western Artists' Will Rogers Medallion Award for Outstanding Merit/Excellence in Printing and Publication, in conjunction with your books that have received this-year's Will Rogers Medallion award. We hope you can be present in Ft. Worth in July at our annual convention and trade show, where we will present these awards. The Will Rogers Medallion Award honors those books that represent an Outstanding Achievement in the Publishing of Cowboy Poetry. The books chosen exemplify a combination of excellent poetry, high production values and respect for Cowboy Heritage. Outstanding books are the result of a collaborative effort between authors, publishers and printers, and the award criteria emphasizes production values. The Will Rogers Medallion Award for Outstanding Merit/Excellence in Printing and Publication will henceforth be awarded annually to those publishing houses that contribute the high production values, commercial viability and prestige to volumes of cowboy poetry. Your work brings Cowboy Poetry to the general public in an appealing and accessible manner and your high quality publications invite readership in competition with other forms of literature. The initial honorees for any award do much to establish the prestige, influence and respect for that award. The Academy believes that in selecting you as one of the honorees, we have not only added to the luster of the Will Rogers Medallion Award, but also helped create a high standard of excellence that will benefit and inspire future publications of cowboy poetry. Congratulations on your selection. It was well deserved, and we hope to see further award-quality publications from you in the future. Sincerely
yours, |
