I just learned that local Twin Cities artist Ken Avidor won a 2009 Page One Award at the recent (May 14) ceremony. These awards recognize excellence in Minnesota journalism.
Ken and Steve Kaplan won first place in the Magazine—Story, Design and Photography: Best commissioned illustration—with less than 50k circulation category.
Congratulations!

You’re welcome Ken, CONGRATULATIONS! Keep going to those events, keep letting us know what goes on!
