Your 2008 Prix Tournesol Nominees

While the American major comics award season lasts from late Spring to Early Fall, the French-language industry seems to me like it runs from Fall until January's Angouleme Festival. It's kind of shocking to see an award with "2008" next to the title, or really "2008" anything, so the list of nominees for Le Prix Tournesol seemed worth noting:

* Betelgeuse Vol. 5, Leo (Dargaud)
* Chronique du proche etranger : en Tchetchenie, Rash and Tamada (Vertige Graphic)
* Comic Styx, Marco (Orbis Pictus)
* Dictature ecologiste, Jean Bourgignon (Groinge)
* Les indegivrables Vol. 2, Xavier Gorce (Inzemoon)
* Nina au coeur de la favela, Loic Sergeat (Albin Michel)
* Toxic Planet Vol. 2, David Ratte (Paquet)
* Voyageur Vol. 1, Pierre Boisserie and Eric Stalner (Glenat)

I'm not familiar with the award, but apparently it goes to a book that throws a spotlight on a social issue.
