Travelers' Tales News Brief Winners Announced in the Tenth Annual Solas Awards
 Winners of the Tenth Annual Solas Awards for Best Travel Story of the Year were announced February 29, 2016 on BestTravelWriting.com by the editors of Travelers' Tales. Grand Prize winner Amy Butcher collected $1,000 for "Flight Behavior," her lyrical account of migrations both of Sandhill cranes and people and what they reveal about life in North America. Mario Kaiser won the silver award and $750 for "Love and Lies in Iran," his illuminating tale of spending his honeymoon under the watchful eyes of the ayatollahs. Glenda Reed and Lance Mason shared the bronze award and won $250 each, Glenda for her moving tale about securing her confidence on a trans-Pacific sailing journey in "The Good Captain," and Lance for his probing look at the corruption of power in southern Africa in "The Train to Harare." More than 200 entries in 21 categories kept the judges busy. The stories this year were especially strong, making decisions across the board very difficult. As usual, not every story that deserved an award received one. Here's the complete list of winners. Winning stories will be posted on BestTravelWriting.com and many will appear in future Travelers' Tales books. Deadline for the Eleventh Annual Solas Awards is September 21, 2016. The competition is year-round, however, so submit your stories any time.
