On October 16th, at its virtual 2020 Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Awards Ceremony, the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW) presented Janet Steinberg with its Silver Award in the Travel Blog Category. Of her Silver award-winning blog the judge commented: “The opening page is simple and organized, and the writing is inviting. The subject matter is original and specific, for example, “Searching for Sensational Sculpture”, and not restrictive by place or experience. The author uses first person to deliver useful information while sharing personal information. The result is a blog that encourages its audience to act – travel and reflect – by demonstrating how.”
