Missed It: Your 2010 Jay Kennedy Memorial Scholarship Winner

I'm glad Mike Lynch caught this because I sure didn't: the cartoonist Sandra Bell Lundy at her blog revealed that Mengxin Li was the winner of this year's Jay Kennedy Memorial Scholarship. Li is a Film and Animation major at the Rochester Institute Of Technology -- Gary Groth and Debbie Drechsler both went to school there, so it's not a totally unheard of comics-related school -- and is the author of Wind Chevalier, which was featured in Shoujo Jump.

The scholarship is named after the late, long-time editor of King Features comics' efforts and noted underground comix scholar Jay Kennedy and goes to a rising junior or senior in North America. It is named by a panel of professional cartoonist, of which I assume Sandra Bell Lundy was one this year, and the winner attends the NCS meeting and Reuben Awards over Memorial Day weekend.
