Great list Amanda, will you be entering any of these this year?
You know I really would like to, but I just know I’ll never be able to invest the time.
I have to keep my finger on the pulse of my business every single week otherwise it all goes pear shaped!
That’s fair enough, I know what you mean, I’d always like to but never seem to have the time either.
Cheers, Gareth

Nathan, there are probably some cartoon competitions around I’m sure – have you tried putting ‘cartoon competitions’ or ‘illustrators competitions’ into Google?
I did that and found so far on the first page alone:

Be picky and enter those which seem the most professional.

when will the 2010 list come up?
awesome
Hmmm good idea, maybe I should do this each year.
I’ll try to remember to do it, but would probably aim to do a new list at the end of the year I guess seems most sensible.
