Your 2013 Ignatz Award Nominees

image

The 2013 Ignatz Awards announced its nominee slate earlier today. The ceremony will be held on Saturday, September 14 following an on-floor vote at that day's Small Press Expo. This year's nominating committee was Lisa Hanawalt, Dustin Harbin, Damien Jay, Sakura Maku and Jason Shiga. This year's host is Liza Donnelly.

Update: Ethan Heitner wrote in with a thought of which I'm sure some variation was on the mind of those that took a look at this list.
3 of 5 nominees for outstanding artist are women
5 of 5 nominees for outstanding graphic novel are by women
3 of 5 nominees for promising new talent are women
3 of 5 nominees for outstanding web comic are by women

4 of 9 categories are therefore majority women nominees
Thanks, Ethan.
