HONOLULU Magazine Wins Hawaii Publisher’s Association Pai Awards
HONOLULU took home honors for stories on topics ranging from the International Marketplace to the Special Session on Same-Sex Marriage.
Here at HONOLULU Magazine, we love telling the stories of the Islands and the people who call it home. It’s what we do. Still, it’s nice to get kudos every now and then, and recently we got just that from the Hawaii Publishers Association, at its annual Pai Awards. HONOLULU won recognition for several stories published in 2013, as did our sister magazines, Hawaii and Mana.
