Missed It: Anton Emdin Wins Cartoonist Of The Year At Stanleys



The prolific 35-year-old freelancer cartoonist Anton Emdin won the Gold Stanley for cartoonist of the year at this year's Stanley Awards, held on November 12 in Sydney. The Stanley Awards are given out by the Australian Cartoonists Association for various achievements in execellence in cartooning, and the awards program is the culmination of that group's annual, two-day conference.

Emdin has freelanced for MAD, People and The Spectator; he won the NCS divisional award for magazine feature illustration at this year's Reuben awards -- apparently the first Australian to ever win one of those honors. Other finalists for the Gold Stanley were Peter Broelman, Mark Knight, David Pope, David Rowe and Andrew Weldon. All but Weldon and Emdin were former winners.

The Bronze Stanleys that go out to various divisional winners went to Emdin for best illustrator, Weldon for best single-gag cartoonist, Pope for best editorial/political cartoonist, Rowe for best caricaturist, David Follett for best comic book artist and Tony Lopes for best comic strip artist. The Jim Russell Award, given to "a great overall contribution to cartooning," went to Rolf Heimann.
