NCS Division Awards - Call for Entries

The National Cartoonists Society invites cartoonists -- members and non members -- to submit their published work for award consideration.

The big news is the addition of a new award category, specifically honoring graphic novels.

All of the rules are below, as are links to the 2 forms needed for each entry. I'm the Awards Coordinator this year and I'm glad to answer any questions or concerns.

Here's the press release:



It's time to prepare your entry for the National Cartoonists Society Division Awards.

Below, you will see the list of the juries which will judge the categories, the jury chair and the address to which you will send your entry.

Please remember only recent work can be considered. This means work published between the dates of December 1, 2008 and December 31, 2009. Please submit published tear sheets when possible and document when and where the work was published. Members of the National Cartoonists Society and nonmembers may submit.
