Herblock Prize Raised to $15,000



The cash award for the Herblock Prize has been raised from $10,000 to $15,000 for the award to be given out in 2009. The deadline is February 1 and the judges are Jules Feiffer, Garry Trudeau and 2008 winner John Sherffius. The number of cartoons submitted has changed to anywhere between 10 and 20.

The Herblock Prize is named after the long-time Washington Post cartoonist, who left a sizable fortune and foundation to run it upon his passing based in part on I believe his investment in the stock of the newspaper for which he worked. I mention it here because I think it's a nice prize, I loved Herblock, I love the fact that Herblock died with a lot of money and the editorial cartoonist profession can use all the good news that can be mustered on its behalf.
