Here is a list of the winners:

The winners were selected by a jury of independent professionals drawn from the media industries. [Disclosure: I was a judge for the writing category.] This is the first year for multiple media categories. The event started five years ago as a recognition of work in Emerge magazine, which is still published as a part of the awards program. The awards gala is followed by a whole day conference.
