Festivals/By Request Extra: SPACE Prize Crowd-Funder

Here's something I completely missed until the second round of e-mailed PR: Bob Corby and his SPACE show are running a modest crowd-funder for the SPACE prize. I'm all for cash prizes from institutions. SPACE is Columbus' small-press/indie show of longtime standing; it shares with the now much grander SPX a common origin of the Spirit Of Independents tour organized by Dave Sim and other self-publishers in the mid-1990s.

SPACE has been an extremely important show for the cartoonists here in central Ohio, and has been a regular stop for small-press icons like John Porcellino for years now. I'm sure any money contributed will be well-spent and go to the encouragement of some deserving cartoonist out there.

Here's a PDF of the latest PR, for a more extensive explanation of this move by this awards program at this time: spaceprizecrowdfunder.pdf

that's an older version of one of their icons; I just like it, so I'm using it here
