A photograph of the draft horse team of Pistol and Pete earned two gold awards from the Association for Communication Excellence (ACE).

The photograph was taken by Steve Miller during the Bronze Boot exchange between the University of Wyoming and Colorado State University ROTC members last November. The team ceremonially hauled ROTC students and the Bronze Boot from the border about a half-mile, where the students then relay-ran the game ball to Laramie. The Bronze Boot competition began in 1968 in honor of the rivalry between Colorado State and UW.

The photograph won golds in the service photo and social media single item categories. It was entered by the Office of Communications and Technology in the University of Wyoming Extension.

Among the office’s other entries, Reflections, the research magazine of the UW College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, received a silver award in the technical publications category. The Wyoming Agricultural Experiment Station magazine is produced by the Office of Communications and Technology and highlights research in each of the college’s departments and also spotlights a student’s research. Miller is the editor and Tanya Engel is the graphic artist.

A photograph by Engel for a Cowboy Branded Meats campaign earned a bronze in the association’s enhanced photo competition. The UW Meat Lab and UW meats judging team make and sell meat sticks and summer sausages as a fundraiser and as a way for students to gain experience.

ACE is an international association of communicators, educators and information technologists who focus on communicating research-based information.
