Your 2013 Walkley Award Cartoon Category Finalists

Australia's Walkley Foundation For Journalism announced its award slate earlier today, including a cartoon category: "All Media Cartoon." This year's nominees, in alphabetical order:

* Mark Knight, Herald Sun for "Kevin's Same Sex Marriage"
* Bill Leak, The Australian for "Change We Can Believe In"
* Cathy Wilcox, The Sydney Morning Herald for "Kevin Cleans Up"

You can see all three cartoons and read some words of initial praise through that first link.

The awards were instituted in 1956 and I've always read that they can be considered an equivalent to the American Pulitzer, although I'm sure there are some problematic elements to that going one direction or the other. I've always thought that Australia has one of the stronger recent traditions in terms of supporting editorial cartooning, so it's always worth paying attention to their awards and honors.
