"Finally, after so many years of competing for the elusive Scroggins Award from SIPA, the 2020 Ambrosia edition of the AHS Lantern Literary/Art magazine has won THE BEST LITERARY/ART MAGAZINE OF THE SOUTH!!! And we created it virtually during a pandemic! I am beyond proud of our dedicated lit mag staff, esp co-editors-in-chief Kylie Heapes and Claire Zwadlo. We wouldn't have made it this far without all of the dedicated Lantern staffs that came before us. We are so proud of our legacy! When will I stop crying tears of joy!
