The Association of American Editorial Cartoonists has long championed those who work for small and local newspapers, and once again in 2024 the AAEC is looking for the best in political cartooning. The Rex Babin Memorial Award for Excellence in Local Cartooning (named after the late Sacramento cartoonist) focuses on state and local editorial cartoons, an issue of great importance to Babin during his lifetime.
