Prejudice, that’s so transparent. Don’t give in to this form of thuggery, you know as well as anyone that it would be way too time consuming and expensive for a non-profit to run an additional separate Canadian Web Comic Award and do we really need any more Canadian comic awards because some cry babies want one? Good on you Kevin for bringing it out in the open for the people to decide. If you fold web comics into the main awards them you have to also allow mini-comics and everything else that can be construed as comics as well. Are you prepared to manage all of that and make it fair for everyone at the same time?

I’m sorry some people jumped to the idea of a prejudice against webcomics. I know that is not true of the JSA’s.

The webcomics award is a natural part ofyour growth. Their initial focus has been on the direct market and you have added prizes for the web and minicomics/self-publishing and retailers.

I think people don’t realize how much expense and time goes into these things. Many are more ready to complain than help out with donations of time of money. Awards cost money. Administration of a website costs money. Organizing so many people takes up time and a show as slick as the JSA’s are becoming takes a lot of people working together.

I don’t see anyone on the posts offering to help out.

Sure, look into adding more webcomic awards but don’t do anything until the awards are ready to carry them. You’ve done a great job so far.
