Big congratulations to Conspirators Ken Avidor<\/a> and Kevin Cannon<\/a> on both winning a gold in the Society of Professional Journalists Page One Awards<\/a>. Ken won a gold (with Steve Kaplan) for best commissioned illustration for his piece The 2008 Republican National Convention: A Graphic Novelette<\/em>. Kevin won a gold for best Editorial Page Cartoon for his piece Xcape from Xcel<\/em><\/a> (done for the City Pages Comix Issue<\/a> last year). Nice work, fellas!<\/p>\n

Magazine – Story, Design and Photography: Best commissioned illustration — LESS than 50K
\nFirst Place
\nThe 2008 Republican National Convention: A Graphic Novelette
\nKen Avidor\/Steve Kaplan – Minnesota Law & Politics
\nMore “graphic” than “novelette,” Avidor and Kaplan do a nice job summing up the RNC in a format that gives the reader the gist of the event far more efficiently than paragraphs of prose would do. Well done.<\/p>\n

Newspaper – Editorial and Opinion: Editorial page cartoon — 50K+
\nFirst Place
\nXcape from Xcel
\nKevin Cannon – City Pages
\nThis is not a “get it at a glance” editorial cartoon. The detail and thought that went into it took some time to appreciate. The political faces are well done. Just the idea of politics as a game gives this another level of meaning. We identify with “electrocuted while punching a TV”!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
