THE PINEY AWARDS The Piney Awards is PineStraw Magazine's recognition of excellence in the arts and a celebration of the culture of the North Carolina Sandhills. Four honorees are recognized each year in their artistic field -- literature, visual arts, music, and performance arts. Each recipient, in his or her own unique way, has made an invaluable contribution to expanding the public consciousness of art and strengthening the vivid cultural life of our community, bringing distinction to their craft and earning the attention and respect of critics and audiences alike. In addition, 30 slightly more subjective Piney Awards are awarded to recognize people and things that make life in the Sandhills such a hoot.
