Go, Vote: Harvey Ballots Available Online

The nominations ballot for the 2008 Harvey Awards is now available for download at their site. I'm never sure what the qualification for a "professional" is and therefore what grants one the right to vote, but in past years I've just sent in a ballot with the appropriate information and had them sort it out.

The Harvey ballot is an interesting creature in that it's a tough slog when compared to the click and e-mail level difficulty of other awards programs. You have to figure out what came out last year, and fill in a bunch of choice in areas that might not be your area of strict attention. They can sometimes spill over, too. Say you really love the way Charles Burns inks, then you look to see if Burns had anything out that might qualify, then you might second-guess if the project that's out is enough for consideration. That kind of thing. I still very much recommend that you take the time to do it. Even if the last time you voted on anything was Star Boy for Legion of Super-Heroes chairman, the comparative difficulty and relative obscurity of this assignment makes it one of the few, open, honest opportunities to make a positive impact on comics culture just by virtue of expressing (in ballot form) what comics and cartoonists you like.
