I got around to taking a look at the prize-winning cartoons. The cartoon by the Moroccan cartoonist in the headline, Derkaoui Abdellah who won the top prize, doesn't deny the Holocaust, nor do most others: <http://www.irancartoon.com/120/holocaust/index.htm>.

A few of them, do, though: the ones by the unnamed French cartoonist, Shahram Rezai, and Naji Benaji.

It should be also noted that one of the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons doesn't mock Muslims for their faith and actually is a criticism of Islamophobia: see the sixth one from the top <http://cryptome.org/muhammad.htm>.
