Ed Steckley to Receive the NCS Silver T-Square
Skip to commentsThis August the National Cartoonists Society will present their Silver T-Square to caricaturist and cartoonist Ed Steckley for “outstanding dedication or service to the Society or the profession.”

From the National Cartoonists Society’s announcement:
The National Cartoonists Society is proud to honor Ed Steckley with the Silver T-Square Award at the80th Annual Reuben Awards, held in Columbus on August 7th, 2026. The Silver T-Square recognizes individuals who have demonstrated outstanding service to the NCS and a deep dedication to the profession of cartooning.
A longtime NCS member, Ed provided leadership and institutional knowledge for over a decade as a Board member and continues to support the NCS behind the scenes. He helped navigate the NCS through organizational changes, bylaws revisions, NCS Fest, a pandemic, and new technology implementations. In addition to his responsibilities as National Representative and then Vice President, Ed was the steady force behind countless NCS operations—doing the unglamorous but essential work of managing the annual Divisional Awards jurying process and running behind-the-scenes production for our Reuben Awards show, bringing technical expertise and reliability to the Society’s most prestigious event.
