I’m one of the initiators and judges of the new The Webcomic List Awards which is meant to serve as a replacement for the discontinued Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards .

Webcomic creators and other people actively involved in webcomics can nominate up to three webcomics in each of the following twelve categories. We tried to keep the number of different categories low so that only the best comics have the chance of winning an award.

• Best Comic
  
• Best Writing
  
• Best Colour Art
  
• Best Black and White Art
  
• Best Non-Traditional Art
  
• Best New Comic
  
• Most Improved Comic
  
• The Innovation Award
  
• Best Gag-a-day
  
• Best Long Form
  
• Best Lead Character
  
• Best Supporting Character

Once the nominations are collected the five most popular suggestions will be handed to a panel of judges whose job it is to decide which one deserves to win. But since only webcomic creators and other people involved in webcomics can nominate comics, every nomination is really important as well. So if you think that some of your personal favorites deserve an award, you should visit our site and cast your vote. (You cannot nominate your own comic.)

Thanks for posting this here Novil :)
I hope we have a few people putting in nominations! ^_^

I don't think I'll stand much chance, but I'll try and get my supporters out in force to vote for me.
It is worth a try!

Awesome thanks, waay better system then some other awards that have just four judges doing it all (and four judges that had similar opinions and gender/ethnic backgrounds i might add)

Novil! I thought I recognized that avatar. I am a huge fan of Sandra and Woo. Great stuff there, that comic.

Anyway, I'll definitely check out the website and nominate a few of my favorites.

Thanks. A lot of thought went into the planning of the award. If it should be moderately successful this year, we can probably get some more “famous” judges next year besides Brad Guigar who will be a judge for “Best Gag-a-day”.

Thanks for the compliment. But don’t bother voting for it in any category. Since I’m a judge, Sandra and Woo is not eligible.

In case some of you missed this thread when I posted it some weeks ago:

The nomination phase of The Webcomic List Awards 2009 will end next Sunday. So if you are a webcomic creator or otherwise involved in the webcomic scene, you should not forget to nominate your favorite comics in the various categories.

See the first post for more detailed information.

If all goes well I might be able to apply next year.

You can still be nominated this year even if you are new (there is a best new comic award from what I see). I'm hoping to win some nominations for that category...hoping...
