The 2nd annual Doug Wright Awards for Canadian Cartooning will be held on Thursday, Septemeber 14th at the Ballroom of the
Gladstone Hotel. The evening will kick off at 8 p.m. with the official launch of the softcover of the best selling graphic novel, Louis Riel: A Comic-Strip Biography by Chester Brown. The launch will feature an on-stage interview with Toronto-based Brown by his colleague and good friend Seth (Clyde Fans) who is also a nominee for a Wright Award for his latest book, Wimbledon Green. The awards ceremony will follow, with the trophies for Best Book and Best Emerging Talent to be handed out by Phyllis Wright (widow of Doug Wright).

Canadian broadcasting icon Lister Sinclair will also be on hand to help induct his friend, the late cartoonist George Feyer, into the
“Giants of the North” (aka The Canadian Cartoonist Hall of Fame.) Many of the nominees, which include Mariko Tamaki, Scott Chantler, Rosalind B. Penfold, Lorenz Peters and Marc Ngui, will be in attendance along with many other of the country’s cartooning and graphic novelist community.

The Doug Wright Awards were founded in May 2005 as a means of casting light on the wide range of cartoonists and comic artists working across Canada. The country’s premiere comic awards, The Wrights are named after Doug Wright (1917 1983) a cartoonist whose strip Doug Wright’s Family (or Nipper) ran for more than 30 years across Canada.
