The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art today announced the nominees for this year's Harvey Awards.The Harvey Awards, named after pioneering cartoonist Harvey Kurtzman (co-creator of MAD magazine), are one of the comics industry's oldest and most respected awards. The Harvey Awards recognize outstanding achievements in 20 categories, ranging from Best Letterer to Best New Talent to the Special Award for Excellence in Presentation. They are the only industry awards both nominated by and selected by the full body of comics creating professionals.

It's cool, because this year I'll be able to cast my first ballot for the Harvey Awards. And MoCCA has been generous enough to offer a year's membership to the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art for any eligible voters.
