A Pair Of International Awards Notes

* the Bulgarian cartoonist Christo Komarnitski has won the 2010 Human Rights Ward given out by the South and East Europe Media Organisation (SEEMO). Looking at the list of past winners, it seems as if Komarnitski is the first cartoonist to receive the award, which has been given out since 2002. The cartoonist's dozen years as a political cartoonist for Sega in Bulgaria and abroad through the Cagle Cartoons Syndicate were cited, as well as a long list of international cartooning awards and citations.

* according to reports from Australian news sources like this one, a weekend-magazine style piece on cartoonist Vince O'Farrell and his battle with bipolar disorder was commended in its category at the Walkley Awards. The Walkleys are that country's most important journalism awards program. Jodie Duffy wrote the piece with O'Farrell. You can see O'Farrell's work here.
