The Awards were presented at the National Pet Media Conference and Expo (affectionately named “Meow World”), on October 30 – November 1, 2014 in Atlanta, Georgia. The CWA is a journalism organization encouraging professionalism among cat writers, photographers, artists, and broadcasters. The CWA meets once a year at an exclusive awards banquet to recognize outstanding professionally published cat-associated journalism work in 50 categories.

The requirement for winning a Certificate of Excellence award requires a score of 90 or higher from three independent judges.
