Independent Weekly wins national design award

The winners of the 13th annual Altweekly Awards were announced in Philadelphia at last weekend’s annual convention of the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies, and The Independent Weekly took home top honors in the Cover Design category.

It’s the third AAN award for The Independent since the paper was admitted into the organization in 2006; last year the paper was honored for our Katrina and Rita coverage and our investigative reporting on the failed UL Lafayette horse farm land swap.

Here are our winning entries, designed by Independent Associate Art Director Kevin Pontiff.
