Flemming Rose, who was behind the publication of the Muhammed Cartoons in Jyllands-Posten have been suggested as a nominee for the Honor Prize of the Danish Journalist Association, the Cavling Award.

The 12 cartoons was published in 2005, but it wasn’t until 2006 that the effect was seen for real, particularly in the Middle-East, where several Danish embassies and flags were burned. In one of the recommendations for the nomination it was stated:

"There has hardly ever been a Danish journalistic initiative that have made such an imprint and contributed to clarification of very important societal issues, where medias, opinionmakers, population and decision makers previously only guessed - a process, that still, and for a long time yet will still be in process."
