About the European Cartoon Award
The European Cartoon Award (ECA) was founded in 2019 by the European Press Prize and Studio Europa Maastricht. It aims to recognise and encourage cartoonists who play a crucial role in quality journalism and promote an open dialogue about Europe.
The European Cartoon Award offers a prize of €10,000 to the winner, along with two runners-up and two honourable mention awards.
