The on-line version of the Houston Press recently won first place in the yearly national competition of the Association of Alternative News-weeklies.

Houstonpress.com, which is the work of On-line Editor Liz Belile and On-line Design Director Daren Lunsford, was cited for its "Urban Adventures" feature. As the judges noted, "This site not only features offbeat, creative content, but uses the medium to a real advantage. On the technical side, the JavaScript pop-ups, the plain white background and the easy navigation made this entry stand out. On the content side, the idea of doing an on-line-specific version of local interest stuff makes this an easy choice for first place.
