Missed It: Eisner Submissions Are Go

I totally missed this the moment it was announced, but the 2009 Will Eisner Comics Industry Awards are open to submission now. Publishers or those creators that are standing in for publishers doing so should start assembling work to send in for submission during the juried award process. Five pieces may be nominated for each category, and items can be nominated for more than one category. Each imprint or line or other way of putting a different name on the same corporate structure can have its own set of submissions. Those submitting should also send a cover letter saying what is being submitted and in what categories.

From the letter as far as those categories:

Categories include best single issue, best short story, best continuing comic book series (at least two issues must have been published in 2008), best limited comic book series (at least half of the series must have been published in 2008), best new series, best publication for kids, best publication for teens, best humor publication, best anthology, best digital comic, best graphic album—new material, best graphic album—reprint, best reality-based work, best archival collection, best U.S. edition of foreign material, best writer, best writer/artist, best penciler/inker (individual or team), best painter (interior art), best lettering, best coloring, best comics-related book, best comics journalism periodical or website, and best publication design. The judges may add, delete, or combine categories at their discretion. The cover letter should include both a mailing address and an e-mail address.

Creators should only submit when:

(a) their publisher is no longer in business; (b) their publisher is unlikely to have participated in the nomination process; or (c) they have severed connections with the publisher or have similar reasons for believing that their publisher is unlikely to consider nominating them or their work.

Submissions go to Eisner Awards, Attn: Jackie Estrada, Eisner Awards Administrator, 8340 Allison Ave., La Mesa, CA 91941. The deadline of March 13. URLs and other relevant information for the best digital comic category may be e-mailed to [email protected].

Nominees will be announced in April and the awards will be held July 24. More information here.
