POMA’s Pinnacle Awards are the highest honor the organization can bestow upon its media members for their creative works. They honor communicators annually for exceptional journalistic 
achievement in traditional outdoor sports-focused magazine writing, newspaper/web writing, photography/illustration, book, broadcasting, and conservation journalism.
POMA’s board of directors recently added two new categories to accurately showcase the talents of the organization’s membership: Magazine – Complete (Digital) and Magazine – Complete (Print).
Pull together your best articles, magazines, books, broadcasts, photos, etc., and get them ready to submit. You can mail submissions, or use our simple electronic submission option. Content between Nov. 1, 2021, and Oct. 31, 2022, is eligible for entry.
Eight categories are available, and you can enter up to two pieces per category. The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2023.
