Chris Sharron selected as 2010 Locher Award winner

Chris Sharron, a senior at Kent State University, is this the winner of this year's Locher Award

Mary Locher wrote, "If you'll remember, Chris came in second in both 2009 and 2008. He attended the AAEC convention in San Antonio in 2008. Chris also won the Charles Schultz Award [as well] so he's having a big year, isn't he?"

Bill Richards, a student at the University of Georgia, came in second. Mary Locher noted "It's interesting, he came in third in 2008."

The contest, named in memory of John Locher, is open to student cartoonists, age 17-25, from the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Sharron will receive an all-expense paid trip to the annual convention of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, this year to be held in Portland, OR.

LOCHER FELLOWSHIP

The AAEC John Locher Memorial Fellowship is awarded each year to one early-career cartoonist whose work demonstrates clear opinions and strong artistry on political and social topics. Deadline to be considered is the end of March.

The Locher Fellow will receive a one-year Regular membership in the AAEC, be a guest of the CXC Festival — held every fall in Columbus, Ohio — and have the opportunity to meet with editorial cartoonists during the year of the Fellowship for portfolio reviews and career advice.
