Axios Denver named best newsletter in Colorado

• Our investigation with the Marshall Project into how state and local governments spent federal ARPA money also took first place for Best Editorial Collaboration

Why it matters: This is the premier Colorado journalism contest, and the recognition serves as a testament to your support.

The intrigue: Axios Denver competed in the top category against the largest newspapers and newsrooms in the state — even though we are a much smaller team.

What else: We also won second place for Best Website and for Best Informational Graphic created by Tory Lysik, Jacque Schrag and Jared Whalen.
