Your 2016 Max Und Moritz Prize Winners

The Max And Moritz Prize winners have been announced in conjunction with this year's International Comic Salon Erlangen. The final results were released via e-mail. Unlike a divisions-type prize, the German award names a list of nominated books and then gives some of them awards. This year a special lifetime achievement award went to humor giant Claire Brétecher, unable to attend for health reasons. Luz's post-Hebdo memoir Katharsis and the publisher Avant-Verlag were also given special awards. The nominated comics winning prizes were:

* Audience Choice Award: Crash 'n' Burn, Mikiko Ponczek (Tokyopop) (nominiert durch das Publikum)
* Best Comic Strip: Das Hochhaus. 102 Etagen Leben, Katharina Greve (www.das-hochhaus.de)
* Best International Comic: Ein Sommer am See, Mariko Tamaki und Jillian Tamaki. Translation By Tina Hohl (Reprodukt)
* Best German Artist: Barbara Yelin for Irmina (Reprodukt)
* Best Comic For Kids: Kiste, Patrick Wirbeleit und Uwe Heidschötter (Reprodukt)
* Best German Comic: Madgermanes, Birgit Weyhe (avant-verlag)

A comic I don't think was listed in the nominees, "Wunderfitz" from the Münster School of Design, won the student comic award.

The best artist and student publication awards came with endowments, which I'm always delighted to see.
