Mark Fiore Wins 2016 Herblock Prize; Ruben Bolling Named Finalist

Mark Fiore has won the 2016 Herblock Prize, given out by the Herb Block Foundation to a cartoonist that follows the courageous example of Herblock in terms of subject matter and approach. The award is now in its second full decade.

The finalist for the award is Ruben Bolling.

Fiore was cited for his independent voice -- he's worked the majority of his professional as an untethered freelancer -- and for his groundbreaking work in political animation. He'll received $15,000 and a silver sterling plate at a ceremony later this Spring which traditionall features a major, outside speaker. Bolling will receive $5000.

Both Fiore and Bolling are solid choice in a run of solid choices for this honor, continuing the foundation's ability to look outside of traditional cartooning expressions into a variety of different ways cartoonists are making their opinions now. Our congratulations to Fiore and Bolling.
