Of course there's a good logic to the current categories… I just mean ‘IF’ any were going to be cut or compiled, those were what I thought best suggestions. If we're never going to cut or combine any this is a non-issue… but it does get brought up every year it seems, so… just suggestions! ;)

I feel like Deliciously Offensive comics are becoming an endangered species. Maybe those comics can be gobbled up by the ‘Best Humor’ and ‘Best Horror’ genres?

Ooh, and I'd like to write in a ‘Best Incomplete Comic’ award for the best comics that totally bailed on us and moved to Comic Fury!

Comes up every year and has to be reconsidered every year because demographics change. When I first started there was stiff competition in Best Sprite, Best Stick Figure and Best Photo. All three categories are gone because the nomination pool has since dried up. So keep those suggestions coming!

Design your own award should cover the Best Bail to Comic Fury award or the Welcome Back award or the Best Reason to get thrown out of Comic Fury award and so on. Just suggestions for discussion.

I hope this post turns out ok. A couple of people that are new to the awards scene wanted some sample FYC pages.

Since the theme for the FYCs hasn't been done before I scrounged the archives of previous years FYCs and Extras to serve as inspiration. Unfortunately I got way to absorbed and my “Just for fun” list of favorite pages (not including presentations) took over. Hope this helps. I'll start posting pages at the end of the month.

Of course, this is only a sampling of what has been done before. If you wish for more, I encourage you to read the rest of the archives. To go back further than 2011, search for Drunk Duck Awards. The comics go back as far as 2007.

Excellent post! I want to submit some FYC this year and help out with presenting too!

I am now accepting FYC pages. Please PQ or email them.

I’m going to try my hand with, option one, page submission. Question: the page or pages has to be about the awards, Right? Or can it be a nomination for my comic in the “page layout” award?

We are loosely doing a theme called movies, so it can look like a trailer or poster or whatever. You can put in it what awards you want to be nominated for, leave it open to interpretation, or give me the list to put in author notes. The rules are rather loose.

FYC Announcement/Rules

Great part about doing coming attractions or movie posters or what have you; you really only need to use art you've already done so you just need lay out and text.

You're promoting and advertising something you've already done–

On that note, if you submit me a regular page from your comic that hasn't been altered whatsoever, I won't put it up.

This has never been a real issue, but it does happen every once in a while.

I selfishly wish there was still an award for Best Photo Comic. :-)

Seconded. But we have the Best non-traditional medium so we don't go away completely empty handed.

Besides during your hiatus they got sick of giving it to me every year. :)
