Southampton - Hamptons.com swept the Online Features category at the 2010 Press Club of Long Island (PCLI) Awards held at the Woodbury Country Club last night. Nominations for five awards brought home one first place award, two second place awards, and one third place award for Online Features, as well as a third place award for Best Web Site.

Leading the Hamptons.com team is Eileen Casey, Managing Editor, who received a First and Third place award for her feature articles which look to the art, lifestyle, and culture of the past and present in "If These Gravestones Could Talk - What Fascinating Tale Would They Tell?" (First Place), and "'The Art Of Fashion In The Hamptons' Illuminates Color, Fabric And Artistic Vision" (Third Place).

Douglas Harrington, Senior Arts and Entertainment Reporter, received a Second Place award for his in-depth portrait of two of East Hampton's most fascinating residents in "Grey Gardens: Hardly The Ho-Hum Neighbors".

Aaron Boyd, former Hamptons.com News Editor, received a Second Place award in the Online News Reporting category for his provocative spotlight "Homeless In The Hamptons: Maureen's Haven Offers Shelter And Safety Through The Winter" which vividly brought the harsh reality of challenging economic times to the resort area community.

A Third Place award for Best Web Site comes at a time when content on Hamptons.com continues to celebrate the best of the Hamptons area while looking deeply to the news within the region. Hamptons.com took home the PCLI's third place award for Best Web Site in 2009 as well, in addition to four Online Feature and Online News Reporting categories.
