The First Annual Hatty Award Winners There aren't many places where headwear brilliance is celebrated. For that reason we chose to honor headwear professionals with the inaugural Hatty Awards. This award honors those who show talent, perseverance and innovation to take headwear to the next level. We often see hats mentioned in magazines, newspapers and occasionally on TV, but rarely do we read about the man or woman behind the hat.

The HATTY WINNERS will be spotlighted in the 2009 HAT LIFE BOOK, which will be available at the end of January.

The Hatty Awards will be an annual event with winners being highlighted in our national media campaign, in the Hat Life Book and on our website, hatlife.com. Applications will be accepted for the 2010 Hatty Awards on September 2, 2009.

We salute the Hatty Award winners and hope that their passion keeps them striving to achieve even more notoriety in the years to come. At Hat Life our goal is to bring hat making (and hat selling) out of the closet and shine a light on the great talent that exists.
