The judges at the Voyager Media Awards have now made it official.
Mr Jaquiery, the ODT's long-serving illustrations editor, won the best photography (general) category at the annual awards in Auckland last night.
He collected the award for a portfolio that included an outstanding breaking news photograph of a clifftop rescue, and a picturesque shot of sheep being driven through the snow-covered Lindis Pass.
It was a rewarding night for the ODT's photographic team with Linda Robertson named runner-up in the news and/or sport category.
Our online site, odt.co.nz, was a finalist in the best news website category, while the Weekend Mix magazine was again nominated in the best inserted magazine category.
Reporter Chris Morris was a finalist in two categories - best individual investigation and crime/social issues - and reporter George Block featured in the science and technology category.
Reporter Daisy Hudson (Mountain Scene) was a finalist for community journalist of the year, and The Star (Dunedin) was on the shortlist in the community newspaper of the year category.
