Missed It: Your Prix 2011 ActuBD/Conseil Général des Jeunes de Charente

This happened while we were in interview mode, and deserve its own post: the nominee slate for the 2011 Prix d'ActuBD/Conseil Général des Jeunes de Charente. This is the award -- now in its third year -- where a jury of student leaders picks the winner for a comic aimed at an audience of 12- to 15-year-olds. This year's nominees are:

* Blacksad Vol. 4, by Guarnido And Canalès (Dargaud)
* Ernest & Rebecca Vol. 3, by Guillaume Bianco And Antonello Dalena (Lombard)
* Freak's Squeele Vol. 3, by Florent Maudoux (Ankama)
* Le Royaume Vol. 2, by Benoit Feroumont (Dupuis)
* Zombillénium Vol. 1, by Arthur De Pins (Dupuis)

The winner will be announced the Saturday of Angouleme, after which the jury members will explain their choice on a radio show. That would be like the greatest day in my 12-year-old life.

I'd love to see some kind of award for kids comics voted on by kids in the US at one of the major awards programs, if only for the spectacle of the kids getting crushed on a message board somewhere for the "insult" of claiming a book like Blacksad for their age group.
