2001 HARVEY AWARDS NOMINEES
ANNOUNCED
Northampton, MA, March 1, 2001 -- The
Harvey Awards Committee is pleased to announce the nominees
for the 2001 Harvey Awards, recognizing outstanding achievements
in comics in 2000. Named after the late comics genius Harvey
Kurtzman, the Harveys are one of comics' oldest and most respected
awards. They are the only industry awards both nominated and selected
by the full body of creative comics professionals.
The nominee list has been compiled by tallying
nominating votes from writers, artists, editors, and other professionals
involved in the creative aspects of comics. The complete list of
this year's Harvey Nominees follows this release and is also available
on-line at http://www.HarveyAwards.org/2001nominees.html.
The winners of the Harvey Awards will be selected
through a Final Ballot mailed to more than 2,000 comics creators
and publishers. Final Ballots will be mailed at the beginning of
March; in order to be counted, they must be received back by March
30, 2001. Eligible creators who would like to receive a Final
Ballot should contact their publishers or the Harvey Awards Committee
by e-mail at ballots@HarveyAwards.org

professionals may vote either online or with the traditional paper
ballot.
