Missed It: Calvin Gimpelevich Wins Prism Queer Press Grant



I was told via a pair of e-mails that the cartoonist Calvin Gimpelevich was named the recipient of this year's Prism Queer Press Grant for the comic Wolfmen. It's confirmed here. Apparently, this announcement was made at the end of the Queer Press Panel at last weekend's Alternative Press Expo. That's a significant award and one that involves a cash award to the winner. You can read a list of past winners including comics-makers Rob Kirby and Steve MacIsaac.

In addition to a cash outlay, winner receive the suport of the Prism Press organization and its members. I believe the award is aimed at newer talents, or those just starting out; there is an application and a review process -- it looks like the cash element of the award is funded via direct donation.

The cartoonist's site is here. He discusses the win here.
