Missed It: 2015 Iteration Of Prism Comics Queer Press Grant Goes To Dave Davenport And Stray Bullet

imageI totally missed this announcement coming out of the WonderCon weekend, and it's one of the bigger grant stories of any year: the Prism Comics Queer Press Grant for 2015 was awarded to the cartoonist Dave Davenport and his forthcoming graphic novel length work Stray Bullet. The winner was named at the "It's a Queer, Queer World" panel held last weekend. This was the first time the award was announced in conjunction with WonderCon. Prism President Ted Abenheim was on hand to name the winner.

The Queer Press Grant is awarded by the all-volunteer organization to someone interested in self-publishing comics with LGBT themes or featuring LGBT characters. Artist merit is the first qualification, after which financial need and the proposed work's projected contribution to the community come into play. Each winner is thoroughly reviewed.

Donations to the Queer Press Grant can be made here. You can find out more about Prism Comics by going here or visiting a booth they might have at some of the year's conventions.

Congratulations to Dave Davenport.
