Irvine, CA, February 21, 2015 --(PR.com)-- I-5 Publishing, the leading voice in pet publishing, has added more accolades to an already successful year of print and online accomplishments. The pet publishing powerhouse recently won five Dog Writers Association of America (DWAA) awards out of ten nominations. The 2014 DWAA award ceremony took place at the annual awards banquet on Sunday, February 15, 2015 at Hotel Pennsylvania in New York.
The Maxwell Medallion is awarded to the winning entry in each of the 48 categories at the DWAA banquet, which is held every February prior to Westminster Kennel Club dog shows.

"Every year the DWAA Writing Competition draws hundreds of entries from dedicated dog writers throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe,” says Competition Chairperson Elaine Gewirtz. “Through fiction and nonfiction, poetry and photographs, and online and print, writers tell stories about the dogs that change our lives. Our contest pays homage to these canine communicators and represents the tales that truly tug at our hearts.”
The DWWA award winners are judged by a select-DWAA contest committee. This year’s competition period ran from September 1, 2013 through August 31, 2014. The winners in each category were announced at the awards ceremony immediately following the banquet on February 15, 2015.
