It received an <strong>Honourable Mention in the category \u201cBest in Class National\/International print magazines, directed to a broad audience&#8221;<\/strong> <em>(Christian Century<\/em> and <em>Sojourners<\/em> were the other award recipients in this category).  The judges appreciated the &#8220;strong use of colour on front covers\u201d and the full bleed and full page pictures. For the writing, they found the first person pieces the most engaging. \u201cUnique perspectives and a strong focus on the magazine\u2019s purpose makes for an original and interesting magazine. Good work,\u201d was their comment.  In the category <strong>\u201cReporting and Writing: interview (all media)\u201d, Living City received an Award of Excellence<\/strong> for the article \u201cPeace through forgiveness\u201d published in the December 2015 issue, written by Jade Giacobbe after an encounter with Rahel Muha, whose son was murdered in 1999 at age 18. The judges wrote, \u201cThis would be a heart-breaking story were it not for the emphasis on forgiveness, and the mother providing a powerful testimony &#8230; A well-crafted story.
