Cartoonists Rights Network International seeks nominations as we prepare to present our twenty-fourth Courage in Editorial Cartooning Award.

Previous winner of the Courage in Editorial Cartooning Award Musa Kart, currently a prisoner in Turkey.

CRNI presents this award to a cartoonist who has demonstrated exceptional courage in the face of overwhelming threats while pursuing their right to free speech as defined by Article 19 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights.

Please send your nomination to CRNI Executive Director Robert Russell at director@cartoonistsrights.org with “Annual Award” on the subject line — or click here:

Email us your Courage Award nomination

The email should contain a brief description of the threats and/or censorship faced by the cartoonist. If possible, please include contact information for the cartoonist. The cut-off date for nominations is Friday, July 12th at 12.00 EST

CRNI’s Board of Directors will consider the nominees and select a recipient. The 2019 Courage in Editorial Cartooning Award will be presented at a later date.

Note: CRNI does not award a specific cartoon for its excellence and is not seeking submission of cartoons about freedom of expression or threats to it.  We recognise a cartoonist who is under attack themselves.  Therefore CRNI makes no comment on the quality or content of the work. However CRNI will not consider cartoonists whose work advocates violence or encourages racism, sexism or any form of hate speech.

L to r: Zunar, Chappatte, PX Molina – AAEC Convention, September 2018

Last year’s winner was the Nicaraguan cartoonist Pedro X. Molina, later forced to leave home and pursue a career in exile. He is pictured here at the American Association of Editorial Cartoonists’ convention where he received his award from past winner Zunar of Malaysia and with the co-founder of the Cartooning For Peace Swiss Foundation, Patrick Chappatte, recently dismissed along with all cartoon content from the pages of The New York Times’ international edition.
