I'm having some time off over January, but I'm running a drawing project/competition over at http://www.chewingpencils.com to keep the blog turning over while I'm away.

Basically, the idea is to feature a gag cartoon from a different cartoonist each day through January, with the winner being selected by Matt Golding. Matt won the single Gag Cartoon category at the recent Stanley Awards held by the Australian Cartoonists' Association.

Cartoons must be 5cm x 8cm (portrait) and be family friendly. The winner will be judged by Golding in early February and will receive one of his original cartoons as a prize.

Submissions close at midnight on December 30th (whatever your timezone). For more information, visit http://www.chewingpencils.com/2006/12/01/c...rawing-project/
