Ahem! Just beating the Oi Oi Oi! drum for a moment... The Golden Stapler Awards -- "Australia's National Awards For Zine Excellence" -- yesterday announced the list of finalists for their 2014 Awards, with preliminary voting now taking place....
Oi Oi Oi! #1 by Nat Karmichael has just been nominated for "Best Zine by an Individual This Year" and Nat Karmichael has been also been nominated as "Zinester of the Year". I hate writing in the third person; but I just had to share this incredible Honour! For more details and to locate the place to vote, please click here... Of course, the magazine wouldn't have been anything without the wonderful artists and cartoonist who took part in the magazine, so can all the personnel involved in the Issue please take a bow? This means you Anton Emdin, Rob Feldman, Tony Thorne, Glen Le Lievre, Bruce Mutard, Dillon Naylor, Steve Carter and Antoinette Rydyr, Josh Santospirito, Ryan McDonald-Smith and King Wang! |
