image

The nominee list for the Prix Tournesol were released right before Christmas. That's the prize that's not a part of Angouleme although given out roughly near the end of that festival (this year's goes out January 30). It honors a work with something to say about environmental or related social justice issues. The nominees include:

* Assis Debout, Stephane Plottes and Vincent De Raeve (Des ronds dans l’O)
* Auto Bio, Cyril Pedrosa (Fluide Glacial)
* Ecolo Attitude Waltch, Shuky (Maka)
* Gingko Various (Cafe Creed)
* No Comment, Ivan Brun (Glenat)
* Papa & Sophie Volume One: La Jeune Fille et le Negre, Judith Vanistendael (Actes Sud-L'An 2)
* Terre de son nom Volume One: La Cite Enceinte, Mathieu Trabut (Tartamudo)
* Terre Rouge, Julie Blanchin and Laurent Sick (Quae)

The nominees were selected by a panel of what looks like a mix of arts organization officials and creators. It's been given out since 1997.
