Forbidden Planet International reminds that the Max And Moritz awards were given out during this year's Erlangen Festival, whether or not people like me actually noticed and reported on it as we should have. The results, as listed at the Goethe Institut site posting to which FPI directed its readers, seem to represent a field of comics generally nominated (20 in all) which were then given awards in various categories:

Best Draftsman: Nicholas Mahler
Best Comic Strip: Prototyp, Archetyp, Ralf Konig (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)
Best German Comic: Directions, Jens Harder
Best Foreign Comic: Pinocchio, Winshluss (Avant-Verlag)
Best Children's Comic: Such dir was aus, aber beeil dich! Kindsein in zehn Kapiteln, Nadia Budde (Avant-Verlag)
Best Student Comic Publication: Strichnin (Hochschule Augsburg)
Lifetime Achievement: Pierre Christin
Discretionary Jury Prizes: Salleck Publications (for Die Spirit Archives); Carlsen Comics (for Ein Vertrag mit Gott)
People's Choice: Heute is der letzte Tag vom Rest deines Lebens, Ulli Lust (Avant Verlag)

Mahler's award came with a 5000 Euro prize. The awards go to German-language publications and has been awarded since 1984 at the every-other-year Festival.
