Howard E. Day Prize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Created by comic-book writer-artist-publisher Dave Sim and his collaborator, Gerhard, in memory of Sim's late mentor and self-publishing pioneer Gene Day (née Howard Eugene Day), the Howard E. Day Prize is awarded yearly for outstanding achievement in self-publishing. The prize consists of a $500 cash award and a commemorative plaque awarded annually at SPACE (Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo)[1] in Columbus, OH. The recipient is chosen by Sim and Gerhard from a pool of works submitted at SPACE the previous year. Each year the duo alternate duties, with one reading all entries received and drafting the Short List of final nominees and the other judging those books to determine the ultimate winner.
