Washington Post's "America's Next Great Cartoonist" Contest announces new terms and conditions
The "America's Next Great Cartoonist" contest sponsored by the Washington Post originally featured some terms and conditions that many -- including Webcomics.com and the Ethics Committee of the National Cartoonists Society -- found troubling. They have updated their legal agreement to address many, if not all, of those concerns.
You should take some time to read over the entire rules if you're considering entering this contest. We'll look at a few key changes.
Prize money
First off, the Post has attached a $1,000 grand prize to the contest. This is in addition to the former prize which consisted of having the winning strip run the the Post's Style section for four weeks.
