The awards committee used the nominations as the occasion to announce its Chairman's Award, "a new award given in special recognition of a work in any media outside of comics, including but not limited to books, television, film, or the Internet, that illuminates the black comics experience in an exceptional manner, and also broadens and deepens the growing body of knowledge about black comics worldwide." That award goes to Black Comix: African American Independent Comics Art and Culture, by Damian Duffy & John Jennings

The awards were founded in 2005.
