Your 2009 Tezuka Prize Winners
The 13th annual Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize winners have been announced,
according to a short piece at Anime News Network.
Sharing the Grand Prize -- an awards first -- is Yoshihiro Tatsumi's
A Drifting Life and Fumi Yoshinaga's
Ooku: The Inner Chamber.
Hikaru Nakamura won the Short Work Prize for
Saint Young Men while the New Artist Prize went to
Suehiro Maruo for
Panorama Tokitan. I don't see a listing for a Special Prize winner, so I guess that wasn't awarded this year.
Drawn and Quarterly has released an English-language version of Tatsumi's massive autobiography/cultural history, while Viz is going to launch an English-language version of Yoshinaga's science fiction story this summer.
Winners will receive a cash award (Grand Prize winners approximately $20,000 USD; other winners half that) at a presentation ceremony June 5.
