Howard E. Day Prize

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 was awarded yearly from 2002 until 2008 for outstanding achievement in self-publishing. The prize consisted 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 was chosen by Sim and Gerhard from a pool of works submitted at SPACE the previous year. Each year the duo alternated 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.

The Day Prize has ceased being awarded as of 2008 with the withdrawal of Sim from participation and has been replaced by the SPACE Prize.[1][2]
