~ Plantatia's Platinum Award ~

ii

Plantatia: High-toned and Low-down Stories of the South by Dixon Hearne, published by Southeast Missouri State University Press, has won top recognition in the Creative Spirit Awards competition.

 

The Creative Spirit Awards™ was created by award-winning industry professionals to annually honor the best in film, music, and books.

The winning categories for all three mediums are: Platinum, Gold, and Silver. Only industry professionals will make up the judging panels in all three competition categories creating a total and unique peer-based judging system. The creators of the competition take pride in the fact that this is the first and only competition to award excellence in the fields of filmmaking, writing, and music.

 

    THE TROPHY

Each Trophy is elegantly designed and engraved with the competition name, level of award, the title of the work, the artist’s name, and the artist’s title.

 

JUDGING

While some other competitions are judged by corporate and/or non-industry professionals, the judges at the Creative Spirit Awards™ are comprised of industry professionals who have excelled in their fields creating a complete peer-based judging system. A panel of authors and/or editors will judge books, music will be judged by musicians and/or music publishing professionals, and producers, directors, and/or professional film critics will judge the film submissions. Judging is based on a unique system original to this competition which not only makes it a rigorous competition, but one in which the creative excellence of each submission is judged solely on its own merits, and not in competition with other entries.
