The submissions are in -- the judging process for the 4th annual Perfumed Plume Awards is about to begin.
The organization says it received an abundance of "brilliant, entertaining, and provocative scent stories" this year, sent in by many talented editors, writers, bloggers, instagrammers and journalists.
Mary Ellen Lapsansky, co-founder of the awards, says, “It is such a pleasure to be part of this vibrant perfume community and recognize their prodigious story-telling skills...each story enriches the understanding of the art and craft of perfumery for the consumer.”
Lyn Leigh, co-founder of the awards, comments, “We are honored to always welcome a diverse panel of judges. Ground-breakers in their chosen professions and beyond. Each year they engage with enthusiasm in reading every word in every story. This year will be no exception and we thank them most sincerely.”
