The winner of the Ken Sprague International Political Cartoon Competition 2008 was chosen yesterday. The title of the competition this year is Earthworks.
The jury included representatives from various newspapers, among them cartoonists like Martin Rowson of the Guardian and myself.
Given the mix of opinionated jury members, most had expected fierce fighting before a winner was finally found, but the process was surprisingly amicable. Naturally there was some vigorous tussling as the selection gradually narrowed down, but I’m glad to say that a very worthy winner was selected by a (healthy) majority vote.
The result will be announced on July 1st.
More about the winner then…
