Ignatz Submission Guidelines

Posted: Tuesday, January 8, 2002
By: Darren Schroeder

Submissions are not a requirement for eligibility. All submissions are copies provided by the artist or their publisher to ensure that our Jurors have seen and read the work in question. To submit books, send six copies of each title/issue you wish to submit. One for each of our Jurors and one to be kept on file by The Expo's SPX for Ignatz Award promotional purposes only.

The publishing date of the books must be between July 1, 2001 and June 30, 2002. The deadline for submitting your books is June 30, 2002. Submissions postmarked by this date will be accepted. Submissions that do not meet the publishing window or are postmarked after the deadline will be returned.

Submissions should be sent to the following address:

EXPO 2001 Ignatz Awards
c/o Big Planet Comics
426 Maple Ave East
Vienna, VA 22180

Outstanding Online Comic category:

A submission for the Outstanding Online Comic category must have been published on the Web between July 1, 2000, and June 30, 2001. It can be an individual comic, continuing story-line comic, or strips. For a work to be eligible in this category, it must be published on the Web prior to appearing in print format. The site can utilize limited animation but should still be recognizable as a comic vs. straight animation. A rule of thumb is if you read the work (eligible) vs. watching it (ineligible). The deadline for submitting your site is June 30, 2002

To submit a nomination, you can either e-mail the url to expoignatzSTOP-@-SPAMix.netcom.co or mail the url to;

Outstanding Debut Comic category:

To submit for the Debut Comic category ... you or a representative must be in attendance at the Expoís SPX and have notified the Ignatz Awards Committee by August 24th that you will be debuting the book at the show and wish to be on the ballot. When you notify, please include your name (as you'd like it on the ballot), the name of the book being nominated and the publishers name (if applicable). Only bookís which ship the week of the show or later will be eligible in this category. Any book shipping prior to this will be taken off the ballot.
