Broken Frontier

The Executive Committees of the Harvey Awards and the Baltimore Comic-Con are proud to present the official Nomination Ballot for this year's Harvey Awards. Named in honor of the late Harvey Kurtzman, one of the industry's most innovative talents, the Harvey Awards recognize outstanding work in comics and sequential art.

Nominations for the Harvey Awards are selected exclusively by creators – those who write, draw, ink, letter, color, design, edit or are otherwise involved in a creative capacity in the comics field.  They are the only industry awards both nominated by and selected by the full body of comic book professionals.

Professionals who participate will be joining nearly 2,000 other comics’ professionals in honoring the outstanding comics’ achievements of 2005.  Your participation in completing this Nominating Ballot will allow the Harvey Awards Committee to place before you a Final Ballot in late March - one which reflects your candidates for the most outstanding comics work of 2005.

The Harvey Awards have moved to the Baltimore Comic-Con, held each year at the Baltimore Convention Center in September. We’re thrilled to add this commemoration of the comic book arts to what is already one of the most successful comic-centric shows on the annual convention calendar. We hope that the Harvey Awards will call Baltimore home for many years to come.

The dates for this year’s Baltimore Comic-Con are September 9-10, with the convention itself open Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM and Sunday 10 AM to 5 PM. The ceremony and banquet for the 2006 Harvey Awards will be held Saturday night, September 9, with time and location to be announced.

We look forward to your participation and input in this process, and we look forward to seeing you at the Baltimore Comic-Con and the Harvey Awards.

Additional details about the Harvey Awards and the awards ceremony will be released over the next few months.
