The judges for the 2011 Awards are Michael Allred, Brandon Graham, Laura Hudson, Michael Ring, and Jason Leivian.
There’s a Reader’s Choice category where voters are asked to list up to three of their favorite comics from April 2010 to April 2011. Any graphic novel, trade paper back collection, single issue or ongoing series, small press or online – whatever title has the most votes as determined by the readers will win this special prize.
