No One Takes 2021 Editorial Cartooning Pulitzer
Skip to commentsWhen the Pulitzer Prize awards first happened in 1917 there was no category for Editorial Cartoons. That honor began in 1922, so this is the 99th year since the first Editorial Cartoon Prize was awarded to Rollin Kirby (though not every year since then saw a Prize awarded to a cartoonist).
The original terms for the Editorial Cartooning division read:
For a distinguished example of a cartoonist’s work published in an American newspaper during the year, the determining qualities being that the cartoon shall embody an idea made clearly apparent, shall show good drawing and striking pictorial effect, and shall be intended to be helpful to some commendable cause of public importance, due account being taken of the whole volume of the artist’s newspaper work during the year.
Finalists for this year’s Editorial Cartooning were:
Ken Fisher (Ruben Bolling) – Tom the Dancing Bug
For work published in 2020 this year’s 2021 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning went to …
no one.
No prize was awarded for editorial cartooning this year!
