The PCO strives to represent the best of British cartooning talent. With this in mind membership is restricted to full-time professional cartoonists working in the UK today.
Applications are carefully scrutinised and voted upon by the whole committee, taking into consideration, amongst other things, the artwork and client-base of the applicant. Whilst each application is judged individually, upon its particular merits, applicants should bear in mind the following guidelines:
There should be a strong humour element in all artwork, whether gag cartoon, humorous illustration, comic illustration, caricature or other.
Illustration which simply uses a cartoon-like style, will not necessarily qualify.
The PCO definition of full-time cartoonist is one who earns a significant proportion of his or her income from sales of cartoon work.
