Britain’s “Political Pocket Cartoon of the Year” 2019 nominees announced

Political cartoons play an important role shaping the way a political party, event, or individual politician is perceived by the public, at a time when maintaining freedom of speech and a free press has never been more relevant. This annual Westminster event not only recognises and celebrates the satirical artistry of the illustrations, but Ellwood Atfield feels it’s also an opportunity for them to thank their clients, partners, and candidates for their continued support in their role as a headhunter.

This is the ninth year Ellwood Atfield has run the event, alongside partners The Political Cartoon Gallery. Their involvement with the awards grew from their founders’ love of political cartoons and started from humble beginnings, with an event held in their office, before moving to St John’s four years ago.

Simultaneously loved and loathed by Westminster, political cartoons are the iconic images we remember long after an event has passed. Last year, the Awards event welcomed over 500 of the UK’s leading cartoonists, journalists, peers, Members of Parliament, and people from across the advocacy, policy, and communications industries into St John’s on Smith Square to see Peter Brookes from The Times crowned the winner.
