In announcing the 2023 Carmage Walls Commentary Prizes, Lissa Walls Cribb, CEO of Southern Newspapers, said: "This prize is very special to me, as it is named for my father, Benjamin Carmage Walls, who firmly believed that courageous and thoughtful editorial leadership was one of a newspaper’s primary responsibilities."
She noted that more than twice as many entries were received this year over last year, with 114 very impressive entries.
And, separate awards were presented for editorial writing and for columns.
