Today the Harvey Awards announced their 2011 nominees for work published in 2010. The Harvey Awards are balloted awards, meaning that for a time period earlier this year industry folks could submit their selections, and now that the ballot has been selected, people now vote for their favourites from the list of nominees (reprinted below).

It appears that the Harveys do not distinguish between print and webcomics for awards that are not packaging specific.

The big nominees are Darwyn Cooke – earning 5 nominations for THE OUTFIT, and the crew from Blind Ferret who garnered a surprising 6 nominations for their webcomic THE GUTTERS. Other nominees include Kate Beaton, Kill Shakespeare, Dale Eaglesham, Noel Tuazon, Bryan Lee O’Malley and Jeff Lemire. Canadian publishers Drawn & Quarterly and Red 5 Comics had books nominated.
