[quote="Novil"][quote="LukeSurl"]I like the idea of one award that encompasses all those things Wendy lists. The name of the award doesn't have to competely define it. It could be "The Innovation Award" and then you could use a paragraph such as [i]"this award is to celebrate those who have made radical innovations in online comics in 2009, such as new concepts in art, writing, reader engagement and uses of the medium"[/i][/quote] I think this award would be good idea, but it should be not only aimed towards innovative concepts, but also towards non-traditional media (photocomics, 3D, ...).[/quote]
