- Someone1234 6y agoI'm not sure. Very surprised that Pat Bagley wasn't even nominated, his cartoons have been all over the place in the last year, particularly on social media. Which I find particularly interesting as he isn't from a major market like CA or NY (he's published in a Colorado newspaper I believe).
- orsenthil 6y agoThe page simply says- " (Moved into contention by the Board.) " - But does not state any reason.

- e15ctr0n 6y agoContention here means as a contender for the prize. See the second meaning here: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/contention https://www.dictionary.com/browse/contention Moved by the board means that the board nominated it; not submitted by the author / publisher.
- abc_lisper 6y agoGot it.. thanks!
- favorited 6y agoMy interpretation was that the board thought he should be considered, so they added him to the pool themselves even though he hadn't been nominated.
