First place

David Fitzsimmons

Arizona Daily Star

“Bioterror drill”

“Fitzsimmons style is distinct, clean and deceptively simple. The deft touch of the Arizona Daily Star cartoonist’s pen provides a perfect invitation to draw readers’ attention to the strong punch of pointed opinion. Fitzsimmons ‘Bioterror Drill’ cartoon is a perfect example of technique, humor and strong opinion guaranteed to stir reader reaction.”

Second place

Mike Ritter

East Valley Tribune

“Death sentencing”

“Ritter’s work is bold and unambiguous. His cartoon on death penalty sentencing is a strong example of the stark black and white — of art and opinion — that is editorial cartooning.”

Third place

J. Alfredo Garcia

La Voz

“Pecado imperdonable”

“La Voz editorial cartoonist Gardel has used an old graphic device to great effect in the cartoon ‘Pecado imperdonable’ (Unforgiven sin). The cast shadow revealing evil truth dramatically sums up a scandal in the Catholic Church that is at once a national and local issue in its ramifications. Well done.”
