Knoxville Daily Sun article wins travel writing award


A feature by Knoxville Daily Sun travel writer Tom Adkinson was judged the best self-illustrated travel story in a regional competition of the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW).

The article, “Be Ready When Your Number Is Called at Joe Patti’s Seafood,” was about a dockside seafood retailer in Pensacola, Florida. It ran in September 2019 and was one of Adkinson’s regular weekly features in The Knoxville Daily Sun.



The contest judge had this evaluation: “This piece absolutely captured the magic of a magical place. Joe Patti's is unlike anything in the Southeast when it comes to seafood. Explaining the seafood shop's history really rounded out the story.”

The competition is an annual event for SATW’s Central States Chapter. Members of that chapter live in 20 states in the middle of the U.S. from Alabama to Texas and north to Ohio and the Dakotas. The competition draws entries about destinations around the world.

Adkinson joined SATW in 1987. He has written articles for publications throughout the U.S. and has had staff positions at Southern Living Magazine, The Knoxville News-Sentinel and The Birmingham News. He began writing for The Knoxville Daily Sun in 2017.
