Bryan Munn, who is on fire these days with his linkblogging has posted the list of 2011 Expozine prize nominees over at Sequential. We figure you’d like to know here so we’re posting similar information.
The Expozine Awards / Prix Expozine finalists were selected from books submitted at last fall’s Expozine in Montreal.
Here’s some info from Drink & Draw Montreal about the Awards and the ceremony (which is the English translation of the information we’ve posted in French at the bottom of this article:
At the 2011 edition of the Expozine small press fair last November, the organizing team asked each of the more than 270 exhibitors to submit a copy of their best new publication for consideration for the Expozine Alternative Press Awards. A panel of six judges from the Montreal small press milieu selected six finalists and one winner in each of three categories: best book, best zine and best comic, in English and French.
The winners will be announced at the Gala, where copies of most of the 36 nominated publications—many of which are not easy to find anywhere else—will be available for sale. It’s a rare chance to meet and mingle with the most talented up-and-comers of Montreal’s vibrant small press community!
The presentation ceremony is free to attend, and will be hosted by Simon Paquet:
Wednesday, April 4, 2012, 8PM,
at Le Divan Orange, 4234, boul. Saint-Laurent (métro stop Mont-Royal)
