Your 2008 Prix Artemisia Nominees

If I'm reading the article at ActuaBD.com correctly, the nominees for this year's award given a female creator by the women in BD advocacy group l'Association Artemisia were announced during a meeting at Les centres Leclerc. They are:

* Scrooge, by Estelle Meyrand (Delcourt)
* Esthetique et filatures, by Tanxxx and Lisa Mandel (Kster)
* Lettres d'Agathe, by Nathalie Ferlut (Delcourt)
* Marzi, by Marzena Sowa and Sylvain Savoia (Dupuis)
* Frances, by Joanna Hellgren (Cambourakis)
* Tamara Drewe, by Posy Simmonds (Denoel Graphic)
* Zeste, by Celine Wagner (Des ronds dans l'O)
* Bons, mauvais, grands et petits joueurs, by Anne Rouquette (Lito)

Analysis at the article seems to cite the mix of small publishers and large publishers, the emergence of younger cartoonists and the appearance of autobiographical work on the list. The award, which I think will be the group's second, will be given out on January 9.
