ABOUT THE IGNATZ AWARDS |
The Ignatz Awards are named in honour of George Herriman and his classic strip Krazy Kat, which featured a brick-wielding mouse named Ignatz. The Ignatz Awards are intended to recognize outstanding achievements in comics and cartooning by small press creators or creator-owned projects published by larger publishers. They have been awarded each year since 1997, but skipped a year in 2001 due to the Sept 11 tragedy. Winners are determined by the votes of the attendees of the annual Small Press Expo (SPX or The Expo), a weekend convention and tradeshow showcasing creator-owned comics. Nominations for the Ignatz Awards are made by a five-member judging panel consisting of comic book professionals. SPX is currently held in Bethesda, Maryland, just outside the US capital, Washington DC. Further Reading: |
