Your 2009 Maya Kamath Winners

Sandeep Adhwarya of Outlook won this year's best work award at the Maya Kamath Memorial Awards For Excellence, marked by an exhibit organized by the Indian Institute of Cartoonists in Bangalore. Mohammad Zahoor from the Daily Times in Pakistan won a special award. I wanted to mention these awards because Kamath was an interesting cartoonist -- she was a rare female Indian cartoonist, but also one of a few that created works about family life (she was inspired by Lynn Johnston) instead of the more common gag and editorially driven works. Also it struck me when looking at the awards that unlike most international cartooning awards they didn't seem to be featuring work that only seem to exist in some sort of alternative cartoon-competition universe.
