The Harvey Awards were founded in 1998 and named after writer and artist Harvey Kurtzman. Nominees are judged by a host of comics publishing professionals, including publishers, retailers, librarians, and educators across seven categories, including Book of the Year, Digital Book of the Year, Best Children’s Book, Best Young Adult Book, Best Manga, Best International Book, and Best Adaptation from Comic Book/Graphic Novel.
Anyone who has attended a ReedPop comic convention between 2016 and 2026 with a Professional or Artist Alley badge is eligible to vote in each category to select winners.
