ANNAPOLIS, Md. - March 29, 2013 - PRLog -- Annapolis, MD March 27, 2013 – Chesapeake Family Magazine receives numerous Editorial and Design awards from the National Parenting Media Association Annual Convention recently. Publisher Donna Jefferson was also awarded the Distinguished Member Award for outstanding contribution to the parenting publishing community.

The magazine received top honors in its circulation category for overall writing, promotion design and for the editor's letter. The 2012-13 Big Book of Education won first place for General Excellence in design and editorial as well as best overall writing. Second place awards went to web editor Hannah Anderson for best use of multimedia in her online story about a Pasadena girl's gardening and chicken raising efforts (http://www.chesapeakefamily.com/education/25-parent-resources/3220-pasadena-md-girl-learns-as-she-tends-a-garden-and-chickens); and to Allison Eatough for her story on Tactics for the ADHD Homework Wars.

"I am so proud of my staff," said Jefferson. "We have worked really hard this year to produce a magazine and website that will serve our community. Our main goal to serve our readers — to be useful to the parents in our community — but it is nice to get this type of recognition as well."
