The Eisner Awards recognize artistic excellence in the comic book industry. Created in 1987 and named after the legendary Will Eisner, the awards are presented annually at Comic-Con in San Diego.
Nomination and Selection Process
Five judges are selected annually from different branches of the comic book community to comprise a panel to nominate works from the previous year in each category. The judges select from entries submitted to them by creators and publishers as well as any works not submitted they see as noteworthy. The judge's nominations are sent out to members of the comics industry to select a winner. Four or five candidates are nominated per category for work released in the prior year with the exception of the Hall of Fame. Inductees into the Hall of Fame are chosen from a list of around 16 candidates, typically two candidates are inducted by the judges and four are voted in by the industry voters. Winners are announced at Comic-Con in San Diego.Hall of Fame
