HARVEY AWARDS BALLOTS DUE FEBRUARY
16
Northampton, MA, January 29, 2001 --
The Harvey Awards Committee is pleased to announce that Nominating
Ballots for the 2001 Harvey Awards are now available. More
than 2,000 ballots have already been mailed directly to comics creators
and professionals, and more have been supplied to many comics publishers.
Nominating Ballots must be received by February 16, 2001.
Named after the late comics genius Harvey
Kurtzman, the Harvey Awards honor outstanding work in comics
and sequential art. Nominations for the Harvey Awards are selected
exclusively by comics creators--those who write, draw, ink, letter,
color, design, edit, or are otherwise involved in a creative capacity
in the comics field. Any qualified professional wishing to request
a ballot should call 972-690-5491 or send an email to ballots@HarveyAwards.org.
This email should include your name, mailing address, and a brief
list of your work in comics.
To complete the Nominating Ballots, professionals
will be asked to make up to five nominations in 20 categories, ranging
from Best New Talent to Best Cartoonist. Voters may make nominations
in as many or as few categories as they wish. Those works and creators
receiving the most votes will appear on a Final Ballot available
in March.
To be eligible for this year's awards, a title
or work must have been published between January 1 and December
31, 2000. In order to assist voters in nominating eligible works,
the Harvey Awards Committee is pleased to make available a list
of "on sale" books for the year 2000. This list has been prepared
with the assistance of Diamond Comic Distributors, and is available
online at www.HarveyAwards.org.
This list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all eligible
works and/or professionals, and does not include titles distributed
through other sources. Should voters believe that a deserving work
or professional not on this list may be eligible, they are encouraged
to nominate them. The Harvey Awards Committee will research such
nominations to ensure eligibility.
For the first time this year, the Final Harvey
Awards Ballot will be available online. The list of this year's
nominees will be available in March. Qualified professionals may
vote either online or with the traditional paper ballot. Anyone
wishing to register to vote online should email your full name,
valid email address, and a brief list of your work in comics to
register@HarveyAwards.org.
The Harvey Awards Committee will supply qualified voters with a
password to access the secure voting section of the Harvey Awards
website.
The 2001 Harvey Awards Ceremony will take place
on Friday, April 27th at the Pittsburgh Comicon. For
information about attending the awards ceremony, please contact
