Let the Prizes Begin
According to a flood of news from European comics sites, the 2005 awards season has begun in earnest.
BD Zoom and
BD Selection are among several outlets reporting that Le Prix France Info went to the second volume of
Le Photographe, a series which depicts the efforts of Medecins Sans Frontiere in Afghanistan in the 1980s. The prize is selected by a group of French journalists and goes to a work that deals with an important and relevant real-world topic. If I'm reading the article correctly, the winning album by authors Guibert, Lefevre and Lemercier utilizes both photography and drawing. The third volume should be out by year's end. Other nominees included works by Ted Rall and Art Spiegelman.
Le Sang Des Valentines by Christian de Metter and Catel,
has won this year's Prix Public du Meilleur. That award is given out in association with the
Angouleme Festival from a panel comprised of persons selected by the Festival and readers of the magazines
L'Express and
Tele Poche. The album is also up for the Prix de Scenario at the festival.
