An entry fee of $325 is gouging, especially when most cartoonists are barely getting by. I’m very interested in how many cartoonists will enter this contest.
The winners are selected from a very small pool of people so stupid and desperate for attention to pay such a ridiculous entry fee in the hopes of getting an award that no one ever heard of before, much less give any credence to. I’m guessing it’s judged by a Nigerian prince.
