Your 2014 NCS Awards Division Nominees



The National Cartoonist Society has announced its awards-division dominees for work done in 2014. The awards will be given out as part of their yearly meeting, at a formal dinner on May 23rd in Washington, DC. They will also give out a few honorary-type awards and their "outstanding cartoonist of the year" award, better known as "The Reuben" -- one of the world's great honors for cartooning. The Reuben nominees were named here.

This is sort of a fun awards now, with all sorts of inherent cultural attitudes on display -- you basically see the same people getting nominated in certain categories over and over again, and the projects with lots of eyeballs on them seem to benefit ahead of those that don't -- but also some really interesting choices category to category. It's hard to find three mainstream books as differently stylized as the books for which the comic book category has chosen its nominees. It's nice to see Jillian Tamaki and Jules Feiffer share a category. And so on.
