It was Peter’s first major award and second time as a finalist for Cartoonist Of The Year. In 2005 Peter was again recognised for his editorial work with his second editorial Stanley Award. This was followed up with the Gold Stanley for Cartoonist Of The Year, the first time a South Australian received the award.
